Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.42.8-1 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.
