your question doesn't make sense. if sda12 is an lvm parition then that is the PV. PV's contain VG's. multiple VG's can exist within a PV and a single VG can span multiple PV's, but you seem to be asking is a physical partition can be placed inside multiple VG's, which doesn't fit in with anything. if you're asking if a mountable LV can span VG's then no it can't, instead you would take 2 VG's and combine them to a single one, meaning you could have on LV across 2 physical devices.
I am sorry for being confused.....what i want to know is when i create VG from two PV's i give command vgcreate vg1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2, now suppose i want to use some part of /dev/sda2 in vg1 and rest in vg2 so would it be right if i say vgcreate vg2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3?
Like you said "multiple VG's can exist within a PV", how is this possible??
