Bug#252164: Package: installation-reports

[Patrick Caulfield <patrick@debian.org>]

Hang on, there's an alarm bell that I've not been heeding.

Looking in the code: "Incorrect metadata area header checksum" is a fatal error.

If that's is occurring on one of tour PVs then the VG should not activate.that
leads me to think it might be another disk/device that is producing the error.
Maybe LVM2 has spotted something that looks like an MDA but actually isn't.

Can you try this:

# lvm vgscan -vvv >log


See if you can figure out which actual device lvm is complaining aabout and see
if its actually a device that should be in your VG. Looking at the top of the
bug report it looks like it might just be the CD-ROM.

Then all you do is edit /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to exclude that device (actually I've
done this for you in the latest releases of the lvm package):

filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|" ]
