Description of problem: Decided to switch back from Gentoo to Fedora yesterday, so I moved all needed data (homedirs, working dirs, VMware VMs, ...) on an existing VG (2 whole HDDs, 1 partition, ~86 GB in linear mode). Disk Druid saw the partition (sdd1), but I didn't touch it at all. You can imagine how shocked I've been when lvscan listed it in the new "Rootvg" I created during installation! Even reforced the three slices into a new VG (lvcreate -Z, mke2fs -S) again, but fsck is running since ~7 hours now... Currently, I'm rescanning ~120 GB of DDS backup tapes (well, Arkeia has also been on that VG...), hoping I'll get at least parts of the stuff back.... =:-(((( Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): core 1 How reproducible: Believe me, I'll not try to reproduce that. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install having an exported VG spaning over 2 whole disks and 1 partition 2. Don't touch them in Disk Druid 3. Try to re-import the VG Actual results: *$!&% Expected results: The VG is available again. Additional info:
With the newer LVM set up in the 2.6 kernel, I don't think that this can occur anymore.
