Many thanks to Robot101 (Robert McQueen) for his help on IRC (irc.freenode.net
on the #lvm channel).
It back up and running now, I had to upgrade to LVM2, and it was happy with
the situation.
Because my kernel already had device-mapper support compiled in, it wasn't a
problem to move to LVM2.
What I did (under Robert's instruction) was the following:
1) Grabbed the lvm2 package (without installing)
apt-get -d install lvms
2) Unpacked it to access the tools
mkdir lvm2
cd lvm2
dpkg -x /var/cache/apt/archives/lvm2 .... .deb
3) Rebooted to single user mode
4) cd lvm2/lib/lvm-200
** USE LOCAL LVM2 TOOLS !
5) ./vgscan
-- LVM2 found rootvg without a problem
** USE LOCAL LVM2 TOOLS !
6) ./vgchange -a y
-- LVM2 activated rootvg without a problem
7) Installed lvm2
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/lvm2 .... .deb
8) reboot
Voila, no more LVM problems.
After that I unitsalled lvm10 and adjusted /etc/lvm/lvm.conf so that it
wasn't looking for LVM devices on the loop back interface or /dev/hd.*
Everythings working now as I wanted, so once again many thanks to
Robot101 :)
