Peter - this is just another instance of this problem, which I know you've seen a bunch of times and know how to fix by hand at least. Volume group VolGroup00 metadata is inconsistent Volume group for uuid not found: QMqIBZUnOutJD3oY5GhdWmxgkgeummcaBs71DfNTrMfm0k7eR7TrZU1vipgp6ZMK Unable to deactivate logical volume "LogVol00" Device '/dev/sda2' has been left open. Inconsistent metadata copies found - updating to use version 4
Are you still having this problem with RHEL 4.7?
