Common causes:
Mixed-up partitioning (e.g. device is partitioned yet the PV was
installed on the whole disk; fix - remove unused partition table)
pvcreate was run against devices inside the PV
fix: run pvcreate again with -u to put the uuids back on all the
devices, followed by vgcfgrestore (once per VG) to put
the metadata back from current backup
