Odd problem with RAID -> LVM

[Digimer]

Hi all,

  I've been bashing my head all day trying to get a kickstart working
that takes two disks, creates two RAID1 devices, puts an LVM on one and
then creates two LVs. The server has 2x 500GB hard drives.

  Here is the script, thus far:

http://wiki.alteeve.com/index.php/Fedora13_KS_xenmaster001.ks

  As it is now, anaconda fails and the trace says that there is not
enough space for the LV. This made me think that "--grow" wasn't being
used. So I changed the "--size=500 --grow" to "--size=50000 --grow" and
it installed.

  However!

  This is what pvscan shows me post install:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at xenmaster001 ~]# pvscan
  PV /dev/md1    VG vg01            lvm2 [232.75 GiB / 191.69 GiB free]
  PV /dev/sdb3                      lvm2 [232.76 GiB]
  Total: 2 [465.51 GiB] / in use: 1 [232.75 GiB] / in no VG: 1 [232.76 GiB]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

  It looks like it created TWO physical volumes. If I look at the actual
drives, it gets even weirder:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

  How screwed up is that? lol!

  So, I decided to run a manual install to see what kickstart script was
created. That came out really weird, too:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#clearpart --none --drives=sda,sdb
#ignoredisk --only-use=sda,sdb
#raid /boot --fstype=ext3 --level=1 --device=md0
raid.2db68162-2542-41c7-baca-d2b76328d459 raid.None
#raid pv.84iuZQ-4p9R-iOK1-XfJr-pfPz-1QJQ-UqLPYW --level=1 --device=md1
raid.None raid.None

#part raid.None --onpart=sda1
#part raid.None --grow --asprimary --size=500

#part raid.None --asprimary --size=250
#part raid.None --grow --asprimary --size=500
#volgroup vg_01 --pesize=32768 pv.84iuZQ-4p9R-iOK1-XfJr-pfPz-1QJQ-UqLPYW
#logvol / --fstype=ext3 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_01 --size=40864
#logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_01 --size=2048
bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda,sdb --append="rhgb quiet"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Am I doing something terribly daft, or is there a bug?

Thanks!
