Can you attach the output of ps -ef from tty2 to this bug report? I wonder if you have any hung LVM processes. I saw that the other day but had no reliable reproducer.

Created attachment 358589 [details] strace of lvm pvcreate Yep, I was able to reproduce this again today and this time caught the strace output. Looks like pvcreate is caught in a loop to me.
Yes, there was bug in pvcreate, fixed in last lvm2 rawhide build, lvm2-2.02.51-3.
