Thanks Zdenek,
so it might be that metadata is corrupted somehow and hence the pvs program doesn't recognize that partition as physical volume?
That may explain why lvmdiskscan reports physical disks (by just looking at the partition type 8e) and pvs completely ignores it.
Am I correct?

Hi
Yes - PVs do have header signature keeping information about PV attributes
and also has the storage area to keep lvm2 metadata.
Partition flags known to fdisk are irrelevant.
