[linux-lvm] inactive PV associated to unknown VG

[Randy Rubins]

I'm having a problem importing a VG after
re-installing the server (original OS version RH 7.3,
new RHEL 3 AS).  LVM is picking up the /dev/sdb, as
well as the new /dev/sdb1 PV.  Any way to tell LVM to
ignore /dev/sdb and force it to use /dev/sdb1?  
BTW, the LVM version used on RH 7.3 was 0.9.1_beta7,
the new LVM version - whatever comes with RHEL 3 AS
update 1.

Thanks,
Randy

pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take
a while...)
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/sda2" of VG "rootvg" 
[16.45 GB / 4.69 GB free]
pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdb"   is associated to
unknown VG "localvg" (run vgscan)
pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sdb1"  is associated to
unknown VG "localvg" (run vgscan)
pvscan -- total: 3 [45.42 GB] / in use: 3 [45.42 GB] /
in no VG: 0 [0]
