[linux-lvm] vgchange doesn't activate the logical volume

[Daniel Loney]

After doing random 
   vgchange -an /dev/vg02
   vgscan
   vgchange -ay /dev/vg02

vgchange no longer sets the volume to available.  The volume remains in a NOT available state.

I am using 
lvm2-2.01.14-3.6

Here is the output of the vgchange and vgdisplay commands:

suse01:~ # vgchange -vay /dev/vg02

    Finding volume group "vg02"
  /dev/sda: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error
