Try running 'pvdata -U' on each of the PV's, and see if there are empty
UUID slots on some of them. This is a bug with the old LVM tools. If
this is true, you can try to comment out the section in pv_read_all_pv_of_vg
which verifies the UUIDs (starts like "if (uuids) {"), and try vgscan
again.
Cheers, Andreas
