I'm trying to setup a new Linux-server with an on board RAID-controller

I try to do a pvcreate on one of the raid-partitions, this is the output I
get:
# pvcreate /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf4
Device /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf4 not found.
But the device-file is there (along with the other partitions).
# ll /dev/mapper/pdc_edcfibbf*

I suspect the devices are being filtered. Take a look at
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf, and try running pvcreate with "-vv" to see how it is
probing the devices. You might need to add a 'filter = [ a/pdc_*/" ]'
option to lvm.conf.
