  I have no response to my problem. I have been poking around more.
  Actually

fasolt:~# pvdisplay /dev/hdd
  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/hdd
  VG Name               vg1
  PV Size               167.68 GB / not usable 0   
  Allocatable           yes (but full)
  PE Size (KByte)       4096
  Total PE              42925
  Free PE               0
  Allocated PE          42925
  PV UUID               N0i9f3-0xqW-iPyq-7EG9-e4kI-Oa3F-jPfRpC
   
  This is exactly the sume uudi 'N0i9f3-0xqW-iPyq-7EG9-e4kI-Oa3F-jPfRpC'.
  that pvscan can not find.

  It is strange that the scan does not find the /dev/hdd volume,
  but the display manually finds the same data. If anyone wants
  to have a look I would be happy to have them access the machine.
