vgname: invalid format - lvm name 'vgs virtualmachines' contains illegal characters

Hi,
I have suddenly a problem with my LVM.
Everything worked fine, since I wanted to install a new VM. I wasn't able to choose my LVM as destination anymore - there was no capacity available.

At least I tried to add my LVM from scratch.

Now I receive the message "vgname: invalid format - lvm name 'vgs virtualmachines' contains illegal characters "

What did I do:
At least I performed the following:

Code:

root@server:/opt/vms/images/103# pvscan
    Logging initialised at Fri Aug 16 11:28:31 2013
    Set umask from 0022 to 0077
pvscan    Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
pvscan    Wiping internal VG cache
pvscan    Walking through all physical volumes
pvscan  PV /dev/sdb2  VG virtualmachines  lvm2 [100,61 GiB / 50,61 GiB free]
pvscan  Total: 1 [100,61 GiB] / in use: 1 [100,61 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0  ]
pvscan    Wiping internal VG cache

Code:

root@server:/opt/vms/images/103# lvscan
    Logging initialised at Fri Aug 16 11:28:42 2013
    Set umask from 0022 to 0077
lvscan    Finding all logical volumes
lvscan  ACTIVE            '/dev/virtualmachines/vm-100-disk-1' [10,00 GiB] inherit
lvscan  ACTIVE            '/dev/virtualmachines/vm-105-disk-1' [30,00 GiB] inherit
lvscan  ACTIVE            '/dev/virtualmachines/vm-101-disk-1' [10,00 GiB] inherit
lvscan    Wiping internal VG cache

Code:

root@server:/opt/vms/images/103# vgscan
    Logging initialised at Fri Aug 16 11:28:47 2013
    Set umask from 0022 to 0077
vgscan    Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
vgscan    Wiping internal VG cache
vgscan  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
vgscan    Finding all volume groups
vgscan    Finding volume group "virtualmachines"
vgscan  Found volume group "virtualmachines" using metadata type lvm2
vgscan    Wiping internal VG cache

Everything looks fine. But when adding the storage in proxmox I receive the mentioned message. suspicious (I can't remember if it was the same before): The Volume group-dropdown-menu shows "vgs virtualmachines".
Several reboots of the whole proxmox-server didn't change anything in this behaviour...

Any help would be great...

regards,
astrakid
