Have you looked in bugzilla? If you don't see something similar there already, file it. (It might well be there already.) regards, tom lane
the only BZ report i found that looks vaguely similar is this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=493452 but that doesn't seem to quite fit. i'll try one more time, and BZ this if i get the same result. but i've done a *lot* of LVM-based installs in my time so i'm fairly sure i have a handle on how to do it correctly. rday
