[SOLVED] pvcreate/pvdisplay: strange warning with current arch image

On freshly downloaded archlinux-2018.09.01-x86_64.iso:

# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 lvm
Enter passphrase for /dev/nvme0n1p2:
# pvcreate /dev/mapper/lvm
  /dev/sdb: open failed: No medium found
  Physical volume "/dev/mapper/lvm" successfully created.

What does that mean? I don't see, where the sdb comes from ... Same message with pvdisplay and vgcreate

Thanks a lot!

On my computer, a similar message was referring to an SD card slot with no SD card in it. The command still worked with no problems.

That might be the case! But I regard it as a bug.
