It's not a problem. LVM scans the drive looking for pvs and uses them as it finds them. You can see this behaviour when running 'vgchange -a y'. It doesn't need or really use the partition number at all. You may have such things in lvm config files somewhere. If it becomes problematic, simply remove/comment those entries. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
