vgs take global lock for performance reasons (it can use cached metadata
completely then), so it waits for some time if vgscan run in parallel.
(but you do not need to run vgscan at all except adding new device or so)
full scan should not take too much time, but there was some bug fixed
recently (missing device was searched too many times slowing everything down)
