[linux-lvm] vgscan problem

[Andrew Schaefer]

I just setup LVM with two disks in the volume group big_space.  I started
out with one disk and then extended it across the other.  It
formatted, fs extended, and mounted up fine.  I then rebooted, and now I
get this error from vgscan:

vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- found inactive volume group "big_space"
vgscan -- ERROR "pv_read_pe(): read" can't get data of volume group
"big_space"
from physical volume(s)
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume
group

Any ideas or suggestions?  Unfortunately I threw data onto the volume and
don't want to loose it.
