Hallo :)

When shutting down my PC yesterday I saw something from LVM complaining,
but that scrolled to fast... When booting it today all my LVs were
inaccessible. Problem seems to be some error in some metadata (?) this
is the first error message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apr 22 08:17:34 [lvm] WARNING: Duplicate VG name vg0: Existing
K0qKAk-Ph5i-BcAX-y4yp-SPF3-TZgj-DufR3L (created here) takes precedence
over K0qKAk-Ph5i-BcAX-y4yp-SPF3-TZgj-DufR3L
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I googled for somebody with a similar problem, but found nothing...
After successful scanning for my LVs (they are all there :) I tried some
renaming of the PVs UUIDs, which worked, but never removed that old
reference to the VGs UUID (K0qKAk...) I even renamed the VG (vg0 ->
vg1), exported it, imported it... now all PVs and the VG have different
UUIDs than before, but I still can't get my device-nodes, so that I can
access my data.

Original UUID of the VG is "K0qKAk-Ph5i-BcAX-y4yp-SPF3-TZgj-DufR3L", an
"vg0" was it's original name. Now it's "vg1" and
"JtUveN-SL2N-cTrH-X2GI-NVux-3kYH-NJwRt5". Sorry... maybe I was a bit
desperate to get to my data when fooling around with the LVM-tools...

I attached /etc/lvm/backup/vg1 to this mail.

I'm running a gentoo-2006.0 stable, but with glibc 2.4 and gcc 4.1.0 on
an athlon-xp, 3ware 6000 ATA-RAID-controller running a RAID-0 on 2 HDDs,
but as it's a hardware-raid linux knows nothing about it, and it looks
like a SCSI-Disk to it.

Hi :)

It seems, that the unstable version of lvm2 caused the problem. Maybe
that's also the case for Moshe (also running gentoo).

I was running 2.01.09 and later 2.02.02, and that seems OK, but when
upgrading to 2.02.04 I got the problem (see posting "[linux-lvm]
Existing VG (created here) takes precedence over VG").

I downgraded to 2.01.09, and everything's fine now :)

If somebody wants me to debug something, or wants to know further info
about my setup, feel free to mail me.

Bye,
the-happy-Daniel :)

The problem was fixed yesterday in CVS. You can look at this thread:
