I've raised a bug with the sysvinit scripts about this. Basically, LVM needs to shut down between the non-root filesystems being unmounted and root being remounted RO.

You probably shouldn't need to reinstall. Upgrading the tools should either fix it automatically, or you can do vgcfgbackup/vgcfgrestore to rewrite the metadata. -- patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
