[linux-lvm] LVM 0.7: optimization bug

[Andreas Kostyrka]

Hi!

I've found some buggy assumptions (in my case, like that I do have
16 loop devices. RH6 comes with loop0-loop7).

The following patch fixes this:

-            }
-         } else close ( tst);
 
          pv_read_errno = 0;
          if ( ( ret = pv_read ( dev_name, &pv_tmp, &pv_read_errno)) == 0
