Alternately, software RAID1 -- either a dm-raid type setup (most onboard "RAID controllers", and in fact almost every consumer "RAID" device) or md? If the LVM PVs sit on the RAID1 array instead of the member drives, then you'll get duplicate PVs if you're scanning the member drives themselves instead of the entire array. You need to scan the RAID1 array (and of course it needs to be assembled before you do the scan). You can control which devices get scanned by editing the "filter" option in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf -- you can make it only include the RAID array device (/dev/mapper/whatever or /dev/mdX), instead of the member drives (/dev/sdXY). (And this is probably just a special case of the "broken (split) RAID1 mirror" possibility that Bryn was talking about.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIoYamS5vET1Wea5wRAzqpAJ4lLzECth88MHROD6T2mahDqMn0jgCfTfPR 1O2q8f2jZnocvQ1VkPCsIHg= =ygT4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
