So why am I getting a message about not clearing a hint file (running s root)
Because there is an ole PV header on sdd1
From an online man page, I should have been able to use -ff to
recreate a pv over
the top of a preexisting one, but that didn't seem to work. I got:
pvcreate -ff -M2 --pvmetadatacopies 2 /dev/sda1
Failed to clear hint file.

You wrote a new PV header on sda1 - but that didn't do diddly squat
about the old one on sdd1.
the VG to update.
Cannot access VG Space with system ID Ishtar with unknown local system ID.
Device /dev/sda1 excluded by a filter.
The PV filter is excluding sda1. Are you confused about what is on
which sdx?
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=4096 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
4096 bytes (4.1 kB, 4.0 KiB) copied, 0.000175409 s, 23.4 MB/s
I hope sda1 was really what you think it was.
What is on sdd1? None of your listings examine it.
