Okay, I'm really not sure if I understand your setup correctly.

What do you mean with "tried with /dev/sdb"? I assume this is a fresh  
setup and Cinder didn't work yet, am I right?
The new disks won't be added automatically to your cinder  
configuration, if that's what you expected. You'll have to create new  
physical volumes and then extend the existing VG to use new disks.

If you plan to use cinder volumes as disks for your instances, you  
don't need much space in /var/lib/nova/instances but more space  
available for cinder, so you'll need to grow the VG.
