Steps to Reproduce:
configure logical volume
vgscan
pvcreate /dev/hdc1
vgcreate vg1 /dev/hdc1
lvcreate -n lv001 -L 1000G vg1

After a reboot when the machine comes up i see these messages

Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: [ OK ] Setting up Logical Volume Management: modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
block-major-43
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-43

After adding the line " alias block-major-43 off" i can turn off these messages.

Question :
Why is lvm looking for this block major 43 device [ nbd ]. Does it
scan all the block major devices to locate pv's.

I am using LVM 1.0.8 on RHEL 3.
