[linux-lvm] duplicate pv.

[johon Doe]

Hi, I have a 2.6.9 kernel and I have problems to
create an vg device over a raid1 array.
Look:
sole:/usr/src/linux# cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : [raid1] 
md7 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
      244147712 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      
md1 : active raid1 sdb6[0] sda6[1]
      1951744 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      
md2 : active raid1 sdb7[0] sda7[1]
      1951744 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      
md3 : active raid1 sdb8[0] sda8[1]
      979840 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      
md4 : active raid1 sdb9[0] sda9[1]
      9767424 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      
md5 : active raid1 sdb10[0] sda10[1]
      9767424 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      
md6 : active raid1 sdb11[0] sda11[1]
      7815488 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      
md0 : active raid1 sdb5[0] sda5[1]
      96256 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      
unused devices: <none>
