Check /var/log/messages for I/O errors on sdb.

If sdb1 had been the extended partition, then it overlaps both sdb5 and
sdb6, so that building a PV/filesystem on sdb5 would overwrite the
existing filesystem on sdb1.  That would have come under the "very
stupid" category.  (I.e. don't try to add sdb2 as a PV!  Does EL5
prevent this somehow?  I don't have anything expendable attached to test
on...)
