Hi,
I've the same problem. The VG was originally created with LVM 1.0.4,
then used (and extended) with 1.1rc1. Now I've the problem after
downgrading to 1.0.4.
# ./vgscan
vgscan -- ERROR "lv_check_consistency(): LV status" volume group "vg00" is inconsistent
vgscan -- ERROR: unable to do a backup of volume group "vg00"
vgscan -- ERROR "lvm_tab_vg_remove(): unlink" removing volume group "vg00" from "/etc/lvmtab"
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- found active volume group "vg00"
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group
