I accidentally ran e2fsck on a partition which actually held a volume
group without running vgchange on it first.  The result seemed to be
that e2fsck thought there was a problem (I don't now recall exactly
what it was, unfortunately), I asked it to fix it, then realised my
mistake, but it was too late - vgchange no longer recognised the
partition as containing a volume group.  Recovering the situation was
too much effort - I just reformatted the disk instead (having already
made a backup of the data).

If it is at all feasible, it would be great if e2fsck could check for
the presence of a volume group and warn before making any "fixes"
which might destroy the volume group.

I hope this makes sense.
