Steps to Reproduce:
   configure logical volume 
vgscan
pvcreate /dev/hdc1
vgcreate vg1 /dev/hdc1
lvcreate -n lv001 -L 1000G vg1

After a reboot  when the machine comes up i see these messages 

Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode:  [  OK  ]
Setting up Logical Volume Management: modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate
module 
block-major-43
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43

After adding the line " alias block-major-43 off" i can turn off these
messages.
 
Question :
   Why is lvm looking for this block major 43 device [ nbd ]. Does it
scan all the block major devices to locate pv's.

I am using LVM 1.0.8 on RHEL 3.
