Just a little status update, I've been getting some REALLY strange results when using the disks as raid array, and I'm zeroing all the disks now to see if that will help. I'm not using the system not anyway, not as long as it requires the proprietary drivers to function. (still using 2.6.23.9 + the patch that started this thread) What I'm seeing now: pvcreate works pvscan doesn't work, MOST of the time, but if I say, put it in a watch loop after a while it'll pick it up, then lose it again, then pick it up again, sometimes complaining about corrupted meta-data when it finally finds the pv, I get the same behavior from vgcreate, after a while it'll work, then fail again, complaining from time to time then vgscan, same, sometimes complaining that it can't find the volume group, but still NAMING the volume group then lvcreate, same deal. I just want to rule out any screwyness of the previous data on the disk first, and it'll take about 4 hours to wipe all 8 disks. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
