[linux-lvm] LVM2 and RAID 1 not working on Fedora Core 2

["Zachary Hamm" <zhamm@nc.rr.com>]

Hello, I'm running Fedora Core 2 on a Dell Poweredge 1750 with three 36G
SCSI drives setup with two volumes, /boot and /, setup with software RAID 1
with online spare.  This was setup at install, which reported no errors.
I've done a yum update as well.

The problem is that only one of the to volume groups is recognized and
mirrored (/boot), as apparently vgscan does not like the the large drives
(which aren't that large...).   Any help is appreciated.

Zack
