Report a bug?
Hyphens are permitted *inside* VG and LV names, but not as the first
character. There are also some reserved names you cannot use
because of existing /dev entries. (E.g. a VG name of 'null' would clash
with '/dev/null' and '.' and '..' are also banned of course).

VG/LV:
a-zA-Z0-9+_.-
(PV names are simply filenames)
