#1 lore raw

Looks like I'm able to edit the wiki page now - thanks :-)

I went to add Bryn's instructions then discovered that they're already in the wiki, so I've added an entry to the FAQ briefly explaining the issue and pointing to the existing page[1]. I added a few new pages too, one explaining the duplicate PV messages[2], and one for using LVM with SAN based snapshots[3]. If there's anything incorrect or unclear in there feel free to fix it or let me know.

The FAQ structure seems a bit strange to me. Would it be worthwhile moving to a structure like the Cluster FAQ uses[4]? Or even a flat page like the old cluster FAQ[5] (which I prefer - its easier to search)?
