Bug#330900: Output of vgscan -vvv and more infos

[Holger Rusch]

Hi,

i got the same problem here:

First of all the output of vgscan -vvv (right before the first other
vgscan in /etc/init.d/lvm).
  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
  Found volume group "data" using metadata type lvm2

I got a IHC7 board with two SATA disks and one PATA disk. All in
enhanced mode with debian testing.

hda7 is VG data
sda is VG backup
sdb is VG archive

ata_piix is loaded in /etc/modules.
libata, scsi_mod und sd_mod from ata_piix over the dependencies.

When booting VG data is found with /etc/init.d/lvm, VG backup and archive not.

If i run /etc/init.d/lvm after /etc/init.d/discover (which runs
discover-modules) it works.
There are the same modules loaded before and after the first
/etc/init.d/lvm (while booting).

It seems that discover-modules does something special with sd_mod
since there is an extra note (scsi sd_mod: loaded sucsessfully) when
(re?)loading sd_mod.

Putting sd_mod into /etc/modules doesnt help.

I can do some extra tests and i will check if makeing a partition on
sdb with the VG inside of it helps.
