Hi there,
I'm trying to create a mirrored filesystem using software RAID-1 and
LVM2. The creation of the RAID-1 device went oke (see output bellow). Also
the pvcreate looks to be going fine. But when I do a pvdisplay it says "No
physical volume label read from /dev/md0".
Where using SLES9 (SuSE), the primary packages used here are;
Name : mdadm
Version : 1.5.0
Release : 40.1
Name : lvm2
Version : 2.00.15
Release : 0.3
Anybody a clue?
Thanks Henk
