[linux-lvm] Problem deleteing PV's

[Justin Booth]

vgscan seems to only update /etc/lvmtab and /etc/lvmtagb.d
a pvchange -x n /dev/sdxx
results in a
pvchange -- unable to find volume group "/dev/xxxx" (VG not active?)
pvchange -- 0 physical volumes changed / 0 physical volumes already o.k.

on all PV's
