** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: lvm2
  
  During an Ubuntu update the default filter for lvm changed to
  
      filter = [ "a|/dev/sd[bc]|", "r/.*/" ]
  
  from (as far as I can remember)
  
      filter = [ "a|.*|", "r/.*/" ]
  
  (or something to that affect, really accepting every block device as the
  above comment in the lvm.conf file states)
  
  This is really silly because it only accepts only /dev/sdb* and /dev/sdc* as 
devices for lvm. Ony of my PVs was /dev/sda1.
  As a result I was getting errors such as (for you googlers out there):
  
-     Couldn't find device with uuid 'WUt5aA-O3fM-H21h-e0Dc-Fqrx-
+     Couldn't find device with uuid 'WUt5aA-O3fM-H21h-e0Dc-Fqrx-
  flP2-obQF07'.
  
  I didn't know what all this meant and nearly went as far as trying
  
-     pvcreate --uuid "abc123..." --restorefile /etc/lvm/backup/bla
- /dev/sda1
+     pvcreate --uuid "WUt5aA-O3fM-H21h-e0Dc-Fqrx-flP2-obQF07"
+ --restorefile /etc/lvm/backup/vg /dev/sda1
  
  This kind of stuff is really difficult to debug for a newbie.
  
  Using Ubuntu 10.04, lvm2 2.02.54-1ubuntu4.
