Hi all,

I sought the web for the error " Failed to find physical volume "/dev/zd96p5"." but the closest discussion in the LVM archives I found was one of mine back in 2014

https://listman.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2014-June/msg00016.html

This time though it seems pvs fails to find the physical volume when lvmdiskscan does recognize it. Do I have to really upgrade lvm2 or is there another way to have pvs recognize the volume?

root@server:/etc# lvm version
  LVM version:     2.02.133(2) (2015-10-30)
  Library version: 1.02.110 (2015-10-30)
  Driver version:  4.34.0
root@ server :/etc# lvmdiskscan -l
