Thanks, this is more or less what I've been trying:

#vgscan --mknodes -vv
      Setting global/locking_type to 1
      Setting global/locking_dir to /var/lock/lvm
      File-based locking enabled.
    Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
    Wiping internal cache
  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
    Finding all volume groups

But it doesn't seem to find anything!
