19 Interesting.
20 In your other email you mentioned you can access the LVM volumes using a
21 rescue-cd.
22 Are there any snapshots in there? Or did you do any recent changes to the LVs?
23 I am wondering if there might be an issue with the metadata causing issues.

25 Did you change any of the following packages recently:
26 kernel
27 lvm-utils
28 (or any of the libs used by lvm)
29
30 Did you try re-emerging lvm?
