PS: Attached you can find a sample script to reproduce the problem. Usage: ./sample.sh /dev/vdx. Be careful.
Running this script I noticed several warnings in /var/log/messages:
They said
lvcreate: sending ioctl 1261 to a partition!
I am very sure there were no other lvcreate running except for the
script.
PPS: I am using kvm to clone bootable hard disks. If I run the
sample.sh on a _real_ PC, then the problem is gone, as it seems.
The messages about ioctl 1261 are gone, too.
The kvm command line looks like this:
kvm -m 2048 -smp 2 \
-drive file=/export/storage/master.img,if=virtio,boot=on \
-drive file=/dev/sdX,if=virtio \
-net nic -net tap \
-vnc :1 \
-usbdevice tablet
Kernel is 3.4.1
