[linux-lvm] Incorrect metadata are header checksum

[Lee Rocky]

Dear all

I tried to craete pv on my xscale system but failed.
create pv command is successful,
but I got the "Incorrect metadata error when scan pvs.
I'm not sure it's a compilation problem or hard disk problem?

does anyone create pv on arm system before?

best regard and have a nice day
Rocky
