Hi,

When I do pvcreate, I get deluged with "pvcreate  /dev/sdf: close failed:
Bad file descriptor" messages.

I need to explicity open another session to kill the previous pvcreate
instance to get out of this situation.

On the same system, pvcreate another device succeeds.

I've had the same problem with some SAN attached storage.  I was
able to workaround it by doing a vgcreate using the physical volume
pvcreate failed on.  This will obviously fail, but a subsequent
pvcreate on the device will then work.
