I'm sure it's physical.  But it's *only that range of sectors*.  I can
talk to all the rest of the drive all day long.  Reading those sectors
locks up the controller.

pvscan dies just like everything that touches them.

So, to recap: is there some way I can attach *one* PV of a VG to a
Linux machine, and boot it to where I can dd around on the /dev/hda
without the LVM layer puking?
