I have just recently installed LVM2 on top of a 4-disk software RAID5 array under Gentoo Linux (x86). I have four other machines with a similar configuration although they are variously EIDE, SATA, and SCSI-based).

This 5th machine gives the following error/warning whenever running any of the lvm tools (vgdisplay, pvdisplay, lvdisplay, vgscan, etc). The drives are all identical EIDE WD2500JBRTL, partitions are type fd, and are a single partition drives.

Unrecognised segment type mirror

This above error repeats once for each logical volume I create using, eg, lvcreate -L10G -nwhatever vg0

Here is the output from vgscan:

I have tried various filters, etc, to no avail. It seems to be linked to the /dev/md/0 logical volumes. Here is the output from lvdisplay

Wiping internal VG cache

I'd appreciate any help, this error only happens on this machine.

thanks,
