I'm having troubles and can't find the solution in the HOWTO, or the
archived mailing lists articles.
I installed lvm on an entire hard drive (hde), made one logical group
with a logical volume of 100G.
I mounted to volume, copied files over OK, but vgscan caused
segmentation faults.
I rebooted, hoping that it was a conflict between the kernel info and
physical info. Obviously, it wasn't.
Here are the results of running pvdisplay, pvscan, vgscan, and vgdisplay.
# pvdisplay /dev/hde -v
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/hde
VG Name data_group

pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- walking through all physical volumes found
pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/hde" is associated to unknown VG
"data_group" (run
vgscan)
pvscan -- total: 1 [111.79 GB] / in use: 1 [111.79 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0]
# vgscan -v
vgscan -- removing "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d"
