Getting EVMS working again after mdadm --grow

I replaced all 3 disks in a RAID5 array with larger capacity drives, one at a time, and then used mdadm --grow to expand the array.  Afterwards evms was unable to read the LV that was using that MD device.

I was able to get things working using the mdadm, lvm2 tools, and the partition is mountable.  However, I'd like to get EVMS to working again. 

Each time I run evmsn, it reports "LVM2: The PV with index 0 was not found when discovering container lvm2/lvm_on_raid_group_120. An "error" object will be created in it's place."

How can I get evms to properly recognize this newly expanded LV?


My procedure was as follows:

- purchased three new 640GB drives
- replace each of the 120GB drives sdd, sde, sdf one at a time, and run
  evms to add new drive to degraded /dev/md0 array.
- after third new drive is done, the /dev/md0 is still only 240GB, so
  resize the md0 array by running mdadm --grow
- mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --size max
- md0 is now 1.2 TB (640GB x 2 + spare)
- increased size of lvm VG by running: lvm pvresize /dev/md0
        - pvscan now shows increased size:
  PV /dev/md0   VG lvm_on_raid_group_120   lvm2 [1.16 TB / 968.81 GB free]
  PV /dev/md1   VG lvm_on_raid_group_120   lvm2 [298.06 GB / 0    free]
- expand size of the LV itself:
        lvresize -l 100%VG /dev/lvm_on_raid_group_120/big_volume
- activate LV: lvm vgchange -ay
- mount the big_volume on a temp location:
  /dev/mapper/lvm_on_raid_group_120-big_volume
                      522G  499G   24G  96% /mnt/tmp
- now grow XFS filesystem: xfs_growfs /mnt/tmp
- df now shows:
/dev/mapper/lvm_on_raid_group_120-big_volume
                      1.5T  499G  993G  34% /mnt/tmp
