proposed change in lvm_dir_cache.c
The patch below will work around a problem with the LVM scan code. If no valid block devices could be found using /proc/partitions the LVM scan code will fallback to scan /dev.
This happened to me when compiling devfs in the kernel without mounting it in /dev (by using the devfs=nomount option). In this case /proc/partitions returns block device names relative to the devfs mount point.
