Will try tomorrow if the solution below is wrong. The raid is running
fine, all devices are up.

Meanwhile, I googled over and over again and found an two important bug
reports related to the same issue (Debian bug report #247896 and, more
important, #267157 - can be found on bugs.debian.org)

I think the problem is that I have to rebuild lvm2 using
"--disable-o_direct". I don't know why there is some trouble on an ARM,
and (of course) it would be good if "o_direct" can eventually be used
(whatever it is), but I'm positive that this will do the trick.

Otherwise, I will send another message to this thread.

Thanks anyway,

       Fabian
