Well, you create an MD device and run pvcreate on it directly instead
of partitioning it and running pvcreate on the partition(s).

So you get something like:

XYX:nas00:~> cat /proc/lvm/VGs/nas/PVs/md5
name:         /dev/md5
size:         833674752
status:       1
number:       1
allocatable:  2
LV current:   2
PE size:      8192
PE total:     50882
PE allocated: 5760
device:       09:05
uuid:         ARVg-SWBN-tvwA-Go2T-BuM9-6ntF-LUqu-nQXY

I didn't have any problems doing this with 1.0.1rc4.
