And I think I've found where the disk space went to.

root@hulk:~# pvck /dev/sdb1
  Found label on /dev/sdb1, sector 1, type=LVM2 001
  Found text metadata area: offset=4096, size=195584
root@hulk:~# pvck /dev/sde
  Found label on /dev/sde, sector 1, type=LVM2 001
  Found text metadata area: offset=4096, size=1044480 <= !!!!

It's always at least 1044480 whatevers no matter what
--metadatasize is requested.

Is there a way to force pvcreate to allocate less space
for metadata? What tool does Debian Installer use to create
PVs, anyway?
