Hello,
I guess that you are write. I forgot that point. I repartitioned again, I did not get the message and pvscan gave me the right size. The only active partition was probably a swap partition that I finally desactived.
Thank.

Hello,
Using fdisk I create a partition of 59Go (/dev/sdxy) Then I do a pvcreate /dev/sdxy) pvdisplay says: /dev/sdb7" is a new physical volume of "38.00 GiB"
This probably results from a previous partitioning.
Maybe you just repartitioned and missed the fdisk message about the fact that the new partition table will be active at next reboot. It happens if some other partitions on the disk are in use. In that case 38GiB is the size of the old /dev/sdb7. Be careful.
Use "cat /proc/partitions" to display how the disk is seen by the system in this moment.
