If pvcreate is run against a device with an existing MD signature, the device is now correctly made available for immediate use after the signature is wiped. Sometimes previously the device continued to be filtered out, as if the signature had not been wiped.

Description

Well, I've managed to reproduce with non-clustered mode too. So changing the summary. The thing that confused me here was that pvs called after pvcreate recreated the .cache corerctly, while vgs does not recreate the .cache.

}
Same problem if you respond 'no' to the 'wipe' confirmation prompt.
This probably dates back to this fix:
commit acb4b5e4de3c49d36fe756f6fb9997ec179b89c2

Fix pvcreate device check.
If user try to vgcreate or vgextend non-existent VG,
these messages appears:
# vgcreate xxx /dev/xxx
Internal error: Volume Group xxx was not unlocked
Device /dev/xxx not found (or ignored by filtering).
Unable to add physical volume '/dev/xxx' to volume group 'xxx'.
Internal error: Attempt to unlock unlocked VG xxx.
(the same with existing VG and non-existing PV & vgextend)
# vgextend vg_test /dev/xxx
...
It is caused because code tries to "refresh" cache if
md filter is switched on using cache destroy.
But we can change filters and rescan even without this
machinery now, just use refresh_filters
(and reset md filter afterwards).
(Patch also discovers cache alias bug in vgsplit test,
fix it by using better filter line.)
