[linux-lvm] Problems after upgrading LVM

[Ulrich Wiederhold]

Hello,
try to use uuid_fixer on every pv you have in your vg.
Then do a "vgcfgrestore -n your_vgname -l" and if this works a 
"vgcfgrestore -n vg_name /dev/hdXX (for each pertitions in the VG)".
Run vgscan again, then vgchange -ay. I think this should work.
I prefered it to run vgcfgbackup after it´s done.
Btw, this was discussed the last mouth several time on this list,
searching in the archive would have been helped you. :)
Regards
Uli
