I just updated a CentOS 5.2 Server that is a Guest inside VMware ESX
3.50 Server using "yum update". As far as I can tell the only three
packages were updated
But when I rebooted the Server one of my Volume Groups VolGroup01 would
not mount. By removing all references to VolGroup1 in /etc/fstab I was
able to get a system that boots. Unfortunately I am not that familiar
with LVM but using the following commands it looks like all the
information about my logical volumes on VolGroup01 is gone is this
correct? Is there likely to be any chance of recovering from this ?
vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...

Please Ignore this message. The /etc/fstab on the system was
incorrectly modified by a vmware related script and I was too tired /
stupid to spot what happened and have spent the last while chasing a
problem that doesn't actually exist.
Apologies for the noise.
