Interesting. In your other email you mentioned you can access the LVM volumes using a rescue-cd. Are there any snapshots in there? Or did you do any recent changes to the LVs? I am wondering if there might be an issue with the metadata causing issues. Did you change any of the following packages recently: kernel lvm-utils (or any of the libs used by lvm) Did you try re-emerging lvm? -- Joost
