The problem with running dmraid on Fedora Core 4 is that lvm and hal
look at the individual drives in the raid, do a partition scan, and
seek past the end of the drive with the big partition table on it.
Here is how to get them to stop doing that.
The following patch to /etc/lvm/lvm.conf causes lvm to ignore
drives /dev/hde, /dev/hdf, and /dev/hdg which are my dmraid array
drives.

The following filter file is named storage-raid-ignore.fdi and
can be added to /etc/hal/fdi/policy to
get the hardware abstraction layer daemon (hald) to ignore
those same drives.
