I'm running EL AS 4 Update 3 on a server that has two 3ware SATA RAID

lvcreate:

device-mapper: deps ioctl failed: Invalid argument

Does anyone know what the deal is and how to fix it? Any help would be
appreciated.
Have you created the physical volumes and volume groups first ?
Yes that was all done just like I"ve done it before. I setup a 14TB
array in FC2 and never had this problem. I did find the solution on the
debian mailing list. Turns out that I had to run 'vgmknodes' after
creating the lvm for it to symlink in /dev correctly. After that, it
worked just fine.
