[linux-lvm] Missing (or double) logical volume after upgrade to 2.4.7 and beta8

[Melis van den Brink]

Hello,

I'm experiencing a bit of trouble with LVM (just as I was becoming very happy 
with it :-().
I had it running on a 2.4.6 kernel patched with the beta7 lvm-stuff and some 
patches from the reiserfs-guys. That was running quite fine.
Today I performed the upgrade to linux 2.4.7 and lvm beta8. I followed the 
advice from the README.1st in upgrading to the new meta-format. I installed 
the beta8 tools and booted with the new kernel (including the patches from 
beta8). It seemed to be working until I discovered that one of my LV's was 
missing. Or better it showed the same filesystem as the one mounted on /var.

I could try to fix it, but would like to know some options as I am fairly new 
to LVM.
Attached is some information about the LVM-setup. I can give you some more, 
but I don't know what to provide you with...
