LVM - can"t find device

Hi Admin,

I had a test LVM volume that I used to get familiar with the
concepts. I am now ready to create the volumes proper and so re-
created the RAID containers from scratch. I didn't destroy the old
volumes and now I am getting lots of errors when I do
{pv,vg,lv}display.

Is there some way I can remove all the old configuration? I have
tried {lv,pv,vg}remove and I keep getting these type of errors:

Couldn't find device with uuid 'wL5A4h-HlSu-Pabf-DulI-is2f-R8br-
ZjhjMV'.
Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group Archive.
Couldn't find device with uuid 'wL5A4h-HlSu-Pabf-DulI-is2f-R8br-
ZjhjMV'.
Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group Archive.
Volume group "Archive" not found


Contents of /etc/lvm:

../.cache
../archive
../archive/Archive_00000.vg
../backup
../backup/Archive
../lvm.conf

Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanx,
Dp.

Re: LVM - can"t find device

In the end I moved the folders out of /etc/lvm and rpm -F lvms....rpm
which I think re-installed a fresh version.

It's a bit of a hack and I could have a kernel panic when I reboot.
Finger's crossed!
