[linux-lvm] Unrecognised segment type mirror

[Don Bishop]

I have just recently installed LVM2 on top of a 4-disk software RAID5
array under Gentoo Linux (x86).  I have four other machines with a
similar configuration although they are variously EIDE, SATA, and
SCSI-based).

This 5th machine gives the following error/warning whenever running any
of the lvm tools (vgdisplay, pvdisplay, lvdisplay, vgscan, etc).  The
drives are all identical EIDE WD2500JBRTL, partitions are type fd, and
are a single partition drives.

Unrecognised segment type mirror

This above error repeats once for each logical volume I create using,
eg,  lvcreate -L10G -nwhatever vg0

Here is the output from vgscan:

I have tried various filters, etc, to no avail.  It seems to be linked
to the /dev/md/0 logical volumes.  Here is the output from lvdisplay

I'd appreciate any help, this error only happens on this machine.
