I'm almost wondering if I should try resorting to that.  I feel I have
a good understanding of how I *should* be setting up LVM in the
installer, and have done it several times, but I keep getting that
metadata error.  In the install I just finished (including the handful
of security updates) a few moments ago, I didn't even bother setting up
LVM at all.  I simply created a root partition (ext3) & a swap
partition.



But after I boot into the new install, I ran the security updates, and
then I ran the following commands:




Code:

  root at ent:~# lvdisplay

  Incorrect metadata area header checksum

  root at ent:~# vgdisplay

  Incorrect metadata area header checksum

  root at ent:~# pvdisplay

  Incorrect metadata area header checksum

  Incorrect metadata area header checksum

  Incorrect metadata area header checksum

  Incorrect metadata area header checksum

  --- NEW Physical volume ---

  PV Name               /dev/hda1

  VG Name

  PV Size               233.76 GB

  Allocatable           NO

  PE Size (KByte)       0

  Total PE              0

  Free PE               0

  Allocated PE          0

  PV UUID               lxpgsV-MxsK-bc5K-XP0z-F42V-mgAN-10I4q8

  
--------------------




And then I just about pulled my hair out, because that's straight out
of a *fresh* install onto a disk that had been zeroed just before
install.

I wholeheartedly agree, I was just trying anything I could think of out
of desperation.



Thanks!
