[linux-lvm] LVM and sw RAID1

Hi,

I think you are trying to cure the wrong disease ;-)

> [root at dmna /root]# pvcreate -f /dev/md0
> pvcreate -- invalid partition type 0x83 for "/dev/md0" (must be 0x8e)

shows what is wrong:

try to set the partition id to 0x8e with fdisk/sfdisk/cfdisk - that should 
solve the problem.

HTH,

Peter

Mit freundlichem Gruss/Best Regards

Have you tried running "pvcreate -v -d /dev/md0"?  It may be that you
get some more clues with this.  Maybe even strace of the above.  It
looks like pvcreate is not getting the correct "dev" or "rdev" from the
inode...

Cheers, Andreas
