I have stumbled across this thread by googling for the "incorrect
metadata area header checksum" message mentioned above, because
that's the message I am seeing when booting my Debian Sid system that
I installed on my Toshiba Satellite 3000-100 laptop (which is almost
three years old) using the debian-installer daily-build from
2004-06-04 almost two weeks ago. In addition, I'm getting "unlink
failed, read-only file-system" messages when the system shuts down
and lvm tries to unlink the device nodes.
I have seen another message in this thread where Martin Michlmayr
recommended to install an updated version of the lvm2 package, and
then to re-install. Is there another way to fix this? What could be
the consequences of these errors? My system seems to work just fine
despite these lvm messages on bootup and shutdown.
TIA,
Matt
