Goto the LVM FTP site: ftp.sistina.com
and get to the directory that you grabbed the tarball from:
/pub/LVM/0.9.1_beta

Grab the file: lvm_0.9.1_beta7-get_hardblocksize.patch

Apply this patch the the 0.9.1 Beta7 source tree as per the README.1st in
that FTP directory.

This should solve your problem.
