[SOLVED] pvcreate error

I am trying  to setup an encrypted lvm following these instructions. When I create a physical volume pvcreate gives the following error:

WARNING: Device for PV <UUID> not found or rejected by a filter.
  Physical volume "/dev/mapper/lvm" successfully created

I couldn't find  much information about this error and I didn't encounter this message in earlier installations. Does anyone know what causes this message?

Re: [SOLVED] pvcreate error

I think it's just a log warning . Your volume seems to be created successfully.
The warning is created by lvmetad
Have a look at http://fossies.org/linux/misc/LVM2.2.02 … /lvmetad.c
The warning is on line 304

Re: [SOLVED] pvcreate error

Thanks, I think I found what triggered it, I created  a new empty GUID partition table. After a reboot and  partitioning without creating  a new empty GUID partition  the message didn't appear.
