Allright, either this is extremely weird or I'm missing something obvious. Here is the scenario:
I have 2 machines, lets call them A and B. Machine A is LVM enabled and in fact the system resides in an LVM volume. Machine B's kernel doesn't have LVM support enabled.
Now, I plugged a USB disk in machine A, created a single physical partition on it and then used LVM to create 3 logical volumes. I've mounted 2 of these volumes in /mnt and unmounted them (with umount) after a while.
I've then plugged it on machine B. Realizing it doesn't support LVM, I removed the drive (pulled the cable, as there is nothing to unmount) and plugged it back into machine A. Now the fun part begins...
I can't mount any of these logical volumes! Mount gives a block device error, something similar with fsck and dmesg is full of I/O errors!
So my question is: What the hell just happened?

I'm very new to using LVM so I can't be much help. I did find this article the other day about LVM recovery though
