Fedora 12 with kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 Processor is an AMD Opteron Quad Core. 6GB memory. LVM is lvm2-2.02.53-2.fc12.x86_64 Disk /dev/sdc: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0003a96c Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 25 200781 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdc2 26 121601 976559220 fd Linux raid autodetect ARRAY /dev/md0 UUID=4420140e:d8a9d5b5:91e28e81:d7bbf71d ARRAY /dev/md1 UUID=05a09bd8:f968bb0e:91e28e81:d7bbf71d [root@gaf gaf]# pvcreate -v /dev/md1 /dev/md1: pe_align (128 sectors) must not be less than pe_align_offset (36028797018963967 sectors) /dev/md1: Format-specific setup of physical volume failed. Failed to setup physical volume "/dev/md1" Please note that /dev/md1 is net up as a single disk at the point of failure. After spending significant time trying to get this to work, I decided to reinstall my system from scratch since I have a complete backup. During installation I set up 2 RAID1 arrays, /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 with the appropriate LVM set up through Anaconda. During the write to disk phase, it failed. I subsequently installed OpenSuSE 11.2, and it successfully allocated the RAID1 array, but on reboot, it failed, so I went back to a single drive Fedora 12. I have not had time yet to check the bugzilla database or file a bugzilla yet. -- Jerry Feldman<gaf@xxxxxxx> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
