Hello, I'm running Fedora Core 2 on a Dell Poweredge 1750 with three 36G SCSI drives setup with two volumes, /boot and /, setup with software RAID 1 with online spare. This was setup at install, which reported no errors. I've done a yum update as well. The problem is that only one of the to volume groups is recognized and mirrored (/boot), as apparently vgscan does not like the the large drives (which aren't that large...). Any help is appreciated.
