I think the issue is that /proc is not yet mounted when you call vgscan.
If you look at the tools/lib/lvm_dir_cache.c file at line 90, you will
see that it checks for /proc/partitions.  If it finds that, it only scans
the files in /proc/partitions.  Otherwise, it goes through all the possible
devices LVM recognizes. 

So if you can get /proc mounted before you call vgscan, it should not take
so long, nor should it scan for all those devices you do not have on your
system.

I just start scampering around neurotically, frantically jumping all
over guests. I think it all goes back to when I was raised in the wild
by miniature schnauzers.
