Can you post the output of the comand "pvs -a"? It should look something like this: sudo pvs -a PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/dm-1 -- 0 0 /dev/dm-2 -- 0 0 /dev/dm-3 -- 0 0 /dev/loop0 lvm2 -- 32.00M 32.00M /dev/loop1 tvg0 lvm2 a- 28.00M 28.00M /dev/ram0 -- 0 0 /dev/ram1 -- 0 0 /dev/ram10 -- 0 0 /dev/ram11 -- 0 0 /dev/ram12 -- 0 0 /dev/ram13 -- 0 0 /dev/ram14 -- 0 0 /dev/ram15 -- 0 0 /dev/ram2 -- 0 0 /dev/ram3 -- 0 0 /dev/ram4 -- 0 0 /dev/ram5 -- 0 0 /dev/ram6 -- 0 0 /dev/ram7 -- 0 0 /dev/ram8 -- 0 0 /dev/ram9 -- 0 0 /dev/root -- 0 0 /dev/sda1 -- 0 0 /dev/sda2 t60_vg0 lvm2 a- 93.03G 0 In that output loop0 is an orphan PV (i.e. it has not been assigned to any VG yet) and loop1 contains a VG named "tvg0" (sda2 is my system VG).
