Just for the fun of it, if the physical volumes are still
unusable (this will wipe them out if you are using them:

	for file in /dev/sd[ab]2
	do
		dd if=/dev/null of=$file bs=1b count=1;

		pvcreate --force --verbose $file;

		pvdisplay $file;
	done

If you prefer to use devfs -- I do -- then replace
/dev/sd[ab]2 with /dev/scsi/hostX/target[01]/lun0/part2.
