[linux-lvm] " Failed to find physical volume <ZFS block device"

[alessandro macuz]

fdisk correctly identifies the extended partition as 8e.
I wonder which kind of data lvmdiskscan and pvs use in order to list LVM
physical volumes.
Does PVS check some specific metadata within the partition without just
relying on the type of partition displayed by fdisk?
