Hmm, too bad, I'm either using Linux::LVM in some errornous way, or it is still
broken. Could you help me debug this? Do things get any better if you replace
line 321 in /usr/share/fai/setup-storage/Volumes.pm by

    sort keys %pv_info;

(it was sort keys %{ get_physical_volume_information($vg) };)?

Thanks,
Michael
