pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/md0" of VG "vg0" [109.77 GB / 109.77 GB free]
pvscan -- total: 1 [109.78 GB] / in use: 1 [109.78 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0]

vgck -- VGDA of "vg0" in lvmtab is consistent
vgck -- VGDA of "vg0" on physical volume is consistent
