The debian > lvm.conf file excludes /dev/cdrom from LVM searches. It was indeed the symlink, although not from hdb to cdrom, but from cdrom to hdb. Removing this symlink (or commenting out the filter option in lvm.conf) solved the problem. CDRom has only been present for installation, and afterwards swapped for extra disk. Symlink however isn't updated. Another remark: although cdrom are filtered (and thus not allowed for LVM), no warning/error messages appear. Wouldn't it be useful if LVM checks this and shows warning/error messages or even exits during creation?
