LVM 0.9 vgscan problem
OK, Jan's patch fixed the vgextend problem on my machine, at least. I manually made the changes to the lvm.c that ships with 2.4.0 and recompiled the module, and I succesfully did a few vgextend operations. We're just commenting out one line and adding two lines in a different place. Jan's patch does not appear to be against the version of lvm.c that ships with 2.4.0, so I didn't try to apply it. A patch against the version of lvm.c that ships with 2.4.0 follows (sorry if the format is wrong, I don't usually do this sort of thing):

Please note that I didn't write that patch - I didn't even try vgextend with 0.9, yet. The only thing I did was finding the patch in the public cvs archive.
