[linux-lvm] LVM on Mylex DAC 960 (Raid1)

[Heinz J . Mauelshagen]

Maybe I am getting you wrong, but your mail sounds like you've managed
to run pvcreate on the Mylex device nodes and created a VG and LVs just fine.

The Mylex raid device nodes are just 'disks' to be used by Linux LVM.

What did I miss ?
