Can you post the output of the comand "pvs -a"?

It should look something like this:

sudo pvs -a
  PV         VG      Fmt  Attr PSize  PFree
  /dev/dm-1               --       0      0
  /dev/dm-2               --       0      0
  /dev/dm-3               --       0      0
  /dev/loop0         lvm2 --   32.00M 32.00M
  /dev/loop1 tvg0    lvm2 a-   28.00M 28.00M
  /dev/ram0               --       0      0
  /dev/ram1               --       0      0
  /dev/ram10              --       0      0
  /dev/ram11              --       0      0
  /dev/ram12              --       0      0
  /dev/ram13              --       0      0
  /dev/ram14              --       0      0
  /dev/ram15              --       0      0
  /dev/ram2               --       0      0
  /dev/ram3               --       0      0
  /dev/ram4               --       0      0
  /dev/ram5               --       0      0
  /dev/ram6               --       0      0
  /dev/ram7               --       0      0
  /dev/ram8               --       0      0
  /dev/ram9               --       0      0
  /dev/root               --       0      0
  /dev/sda1               --       0      0
  /dev/sda2  t60_vg0 lvm2 a-   93.03G     0

In that output loop0 is an orphan PV (i.e. it has not been assigned to
any VG yet) and loop1 contains a VG named "tvg0" (sda2 is my system VG).

Bryn.
