safe to run vgscan and then pvscan to list the PV's LVM sees. I don't know your situation but in theory your lvm.conf can have filter settings that prevent LVM from seeing PV's that a different setting would expose to LVM.

Is there any utilitary I can use to check a disk and find out what (if any) VG that disk belongs to? The situation I have is: I have lots of disks here and I do not know if they belong to any VG. I thought on using LVM tools (pvscan, lvscan, vgscan....) but I'm not sure if they affect the disk in any way. Corrupting them could be disastrous if they're being used on a VG.
