APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
On incorrect or corrupted VGDA data the readvgda and readvgda_svg commands may fail with SIGSEGV and dump core.
Local fix
Problem summary
Readvgda, which is run when collecting LVM snap, can seg fault if it reads a disk with some non LVM metadata on it.
Problem conclusion
Add signal handling to readvgda such that it will fail nicely from a seg fault, not logging any error in errpt.
Temporary fix
