Why do you use partitioned raid?
Because I can ;). There is no special reason.
you should use metadata version 0.90 for the raid 1 metadata location, it is the only one that lilo and grub supports.
I'm using metadata 0.90 currently so it's not a problem. I guess there is a bug in CRUX in device naming/numbering convention as was described in previous post.
I would of partitoned the disk into 2 partitons use old metadata 0.90 for md0 for boot and metadata version 1.1 for md1 then pvcrate on md1,
[...] Yes. I was considered that path, but I found that message indicated a bug, so decided to check it before moving forwarded. Anyway I don't have more time and I'm going to use scenario suggested above.
BTW I have a lot of experience with LVM2 if you need help with anything.
Thanks, but LVM2 part was the easier one, as I have enough experience. But I will remember this in the case I will decided to do something really crazy with LVM ;) Cheers, Wawrzek -- Wawrzyniec Niewodniczański vel Wawrzek Larry or LarryN Linux User #177124 E-MAIL: wawrzek@gmail.com PhD in Quantum Chemistry WWW: http://wawrzek.name MSc in Molecular Engineering JID: wawrzek@jabber.wroc.pl
