[linux-lvm] pvresize will cause a meta-data corruption with error message "Error writing device at 4096 length 512"

[Gang He]

Hello List,

Our user encountered a meta-data corruption problem, when run pvresize command after upgrading to LVM2 v2.02.180 from v2.02.120.

The details are as below,
we have following environment:
- Storage: HP XP7 (SAN) - LUN's are presented to ESX via RDM
- VMWare ESXi 6.5
- SLES 12 SP 4 Guest

Resize happened this way (is our standard way since years) - however - this is our first resize after upgrading SLES 12 SP3 to SLES 12 SP4 - until this upgrade, we
never had a problem like this:
- split continous access on storage box, resize lun on XP7
- recreate ca on XP7
- scan on ESX
- rescan-scsi-bus.sh -s on SLES VM
- pvresize  ( at this step the error happened)
