[CentOS] LVM - VG directory not being created

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but it's worth a shot.

I have installed CentOS 6.5 on one of our servers, and have just installed
SolusVM.

I have also set up LVM, with a PV on /dev/sda4 (which is GPT formatted, and
3.12TB is size).

The problem I'm having is that when I create the VG, it will not show up
under /dev/<VG-name>, which it's supposed to according to Red Hat guides on
LVM.

On a CentOS 5.9 server, with an almost identical set up, the VG showed up
under /dev/ correctly, so I'm wondering if the VG folder is stored
elsewhere in CentOS 6? I have tried the obvious solutions, such as a
reboot, vgscan, pvscan, and even partprobe. I have even tried running
'find' in search of the VG name, which returned no results.

Any help is much appreciated. :)
