Sure, I'll paste a full dump later on - not to the listserv. I am running Fedora 12 with kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 Processor is an AMD Opteron Quad Core. 6GB memory. LVM is lvm2-2.02.53-2.fc12.x86_64 The error message was copied and pasted: [...@gaf ~]$ sudo pvcreate /dev/md1 /dev/md1: pe_align (128 sectors) must not be less than pe_align_offset (36028797018963967 sectors) /dev/md1: Format-specific setup of physical volume failed. Failed to setup physical volume "/dev/md1"
I've posted the details at: http://pastebin.com/4AtMzEjr Note that my version of lvm2 is a bit behind the sources that you reference. Essentially, I back up my entire system using rsnapshot so I could simply start from scratch and restore my backed up file systems and allocate the raid1 volumes from scratch which is a backup plan, but I would prefer not to do that and try to solve the problem.
