[linux-lvm] what does 'orphan vg' mean?(global vg?)

[Busby.Cheung]

Hi Milan,
              Thank you very much for so detailed reply.
              I still have one question, the full scan like 'vgs' will scan the devives(both used and unused in the LVM) to find the label info, I read the debug mesg  by using 'vgs -vvvv' cmd. when it take a long time, it may stop for a while by output the '#device/dev-io.c:486         Opened /dev/sdp RO O_DIRECT'  ('sdp' just for example,or may be a soft raid md device), I don't know why it will stop for a while, locking?device missing? or other reason? I need your help and advice.
           The missing devices you mentioned in the emails before, means the devices used in the LVM (PVs), or the other devices in the system , or both? You said 'missing device was searched too many times slowing everything down'. 
          
 
Best Regards,
Busby
