i posted a patch to this list that checks for an md superblock.
i am pushing for consideration of this approach.


One of the problems with LVM1 was that there was far too much hard
coded behaviour such as this.

This is a good point, but:
The current LVM2 behaviour is confusing for users that upgrade from 2.4/lvm1 to 2.6/lvm2 so i would like to address it.
LVM2 already code already contains exceptions for MD devices.
since we have a configuration file we could add a configuration switch for ignoring devices with md superblocks (possibly defaulting to ignore, which is what users expect)



WDYT?
