Sorry, but this is a normal reaction of the logical volume manager. Why?
Each "normal" volume manager uses a special part of the disk device (or a
special part of a partition) to identify the physical media. If you copy the
complete disk, you also copy this unique identifier. So LVM get confused
to find a media twice.
