Note - the easiest is to check the verbose output of 'pvs -vvv' - where you could follow up what is command doing in relatively 'readable' form - if you can't follow it - just attach to the email for overlook why could be your disk eventually ignored. Note - the other reason could be the device got filtered by some filter - but I assume you've not changed your configuration on your system ?
