LVM upgrade problem


Hello, I recently upgraded my "server" from opensuse 11.0 to 11.2. After the upgrade, I tried to mount my LVM (was previously setup with 11.0), and it said something about having issues with mounting it, try setting up the volume again (something to that effect).

So, I went into LVM management, tried setting it up again, "error", tried deleting it "error", tried removing drives from it "error".

The error that I consistently keep getting is:

"System error code was: -4013"

/sbin/vgremove 'system'
WARNING: Inconsistent metadata found for VG system.

Now, I have not changed any of the drives physically or logically, all I did was upgrade the op system.

I need help on how to possibly start from scratch with the LVM, I have no data on the drives yet, so I am not concerned about losing anything, as a matter of fact, the whole system is a virgin system, so what ever it takes, I'm willing to do.

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance, Tony

TBH, if it's a virgin/empty system, I'd just do a fresh/clean install of 11.2. That (should) solve all your problems. Faster than trying to fix what you've got.
This is a good LVM ref (you've prob got LVM v2) http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
