Hello Patrick, First of all, thank you for your very quick reply.
Sorry to break the thread. I saw your reaction in the BTS about 3 hours ago, but the mail has not reached me yet, so I can't reply :-( > Two things to try: > > firstly, enable md_component_autodetection in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf - it > looks like the system has found BOTH the MD and it's components, that > explains the duplicate PV entries.

That _does_ get rid of the listing of physical partitions. vgscan -vvv now looks like <snip> Finding volume group "sys" Opened /dev/md/0 /dev/md/0: lvm2 label detected Opened /dev/md/1 /dev/md/1: lvm2 label detected Read sys metadata (10) from /dev/md/0 at 18432 size 1879 /dev/md/0: lvm2 label detected /dev/md/1: lvm2 label detected Read sys metadata (9) from /dev/md/1 at 7168 size 2233 Inconsistent metadata copies found - updating to use version 10 Writing sys metadata to /dev/md/0 at 20480 len 1879 Automatic metadata correction failed Volume group "sys" not found Unlocking /var/lock/lvm/V_sys Closed /dev/md/0 Closed /dev/md/1 </snip> Unfortunately it does not help to fix the inconsistency. > Secondly try using vgcfgrestore to restore the metadata onto the disks, > you only need to do this if 1) above fails Hmmm. How would I do that? As I understand it, the backups are saved in /etc and as I can not access my sys-root LV, I can not get to the backups. Or is there some kind of trick to that? I've also attached the output for 'lvdisplay >lvdisplay.txt 2>&1'. Note the 'Device ??? has been left open' lines in that output. Cheers, Frans Pop
