LVM: pvcreate /dev/sda4 gives error Device /dev/sda4 not found (or ignored by filtering).

If you are using the pvcreate command something like this:

pvcreate /dev/sda4

And it gives an error like this:

Device /dev/sda4 not found (or ignored by filtering).

This can sometimes be resolved by rebooting the server (if the LVM partition was just created, and the server has not yet been rebooted).
