Hmm, there's no direct (in)activation of PVs.
A bit strange, that both are in diffrent states (they should be either inactive
in case the VG is or both active in case the VG got activated).

If the VG "TruStore-Data" is inactive, "vgchange -ay TruStore-Data" should turn
/dev/sda3 active as well.

Is "TruStore-Data" accessable fine (LVs ok) ?
