... so "dm_mod" is actually loaded, and as far as I know, that's the
lvm2 module.
I also have two 3w_9xxx since a few weeks, works great!
If it becomes /dev/sdb, have a look into /sys/block/sdb and
/proc/partitions if it appears correctly. Also, certain devices
may be excluded from scanning via /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.
Does hotplug create /dev/sdb dynamically and in time during boot?
In the beginning I got problems, as the 3ware controller
and my SATA backplane both may be configured to delay the
disk spinup. This caused some timeout trouble.
/sys/block/sdb existed, but I think you're right re: disk spinup since I
inserted a "sleep 5" into rc.sysinit before the call to vgscan and it
works now!
