Hello,

I try to get my LVM1 array (hd[e,f,g,h]1) working with kernel 2.6.0
and LVM2. After installing LVM2.2.00.08 I try to run vgscan, it scans 
the devices and founds the LVM1 labels. But then it runs in a endless
loop:
...........
Ignoring duplicate PV  on /dev/hdg1
Found /dev/hdf1 in VG raid_vg
Ignoring duplicate PV  on /dev/hdf1
Found /dev/hdh1 in VG raid_vg
Ignoring duplicate PV  on /dev/hdh1
Found /dev/hde1 in VG raid_vg
Ignoring duplicate PV  on /dev/hde1
Found /dev/hdg1 in VG raid_vg
Ignoring duplicate PV  on /dev/hdg1
Found /dev/hdf1 in VG raid_vg
Ignoring duplicate PV  on /dev/hdf1
...........

until it get killed by the kernel (Out of Memory).

The VG was created with LVM 1.0.5.

Thanks for any help,
Sebastian
