I gave it a try and that did not fix it. vgcfgrestore lnxvg Incorrect metadata area header checksum Restored volume group lnxvg and I tried: vgcfgrestore -l lnxvg No archives found in /etc/lvm/archive. File: /etc/lvm/backup/lnxvg Incorrect metadata area header checksum VG name: lnxvg Description: Created *after* executing '/sbin/vgcfgbackup' Backup Time: Sat Feb 25 21:02:37 2006 I think it does not sound too good. :( Something else we could try.
