I haven't looked into the source of this yet, but I suspect that some LVM
tables are messed up, or some bounds calculations are incorrect.

I am getting the following errors

My disk partitons are
Disk /dev/sdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1106 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1             1       17   136521   82  Linux swap
/dev/sdb2            18      201  1477980   fe  Unknown
/dev/sdb3           202      610  3285292+  fe  Unknown
/dev/sdb4           611     1106  3984120   fe  Unknown

Note the order of creation above.  First I did a vgcreate vg00
/dev/sdb[24], then a vgextend vg00 /dev/sdb3, then created a 2G LV and a 6G
 LV that crosses past the end of /dev/sdb4.


Anybody got any clues? or pointers where to start debugging?
I'd find it hard to believe that this would be related to the changes I
just posted here that I made to tools/lib/lvm_tab_get_free_blk_dev.c, but
little supprises me any more.


Have a good weekend!
