Hi,
It seems that you use a fresh 2.4.9 kernel. In kernel 2.4.9, the version
of LVM is 0.9.0-beta2, which is what you get with dmesg or cat /proc/lvm
Then you installed tools from 1.0.1rc2. You must upgrade your kernel
with LVM 1.0.1rc2 if you want all that to be consistent (or use beta2
tools, which is not the good way IMHO).

Recompile 2.4.9 with LVM-1.0.1rc2 and you'll be OK.
Bye

I don't understand what you mean!
Your request is offtopic. You ask for help on a thread not related to
you...
But on the thread there :
<http://lists.sistina.com/pipermail/linux-lvm/2001-September/008611.html
> you already got help from many!

What do you mean and want exactly???

Hello LVM-Gurus,

I would like to create a volume group based on an sofraid device
(/dev/md0). I know, there are many emails about this topic, but I think no
one has the solution for this. I have found some code-patches for older
versions of the lvm for fix this problem. But, what is the current state
in the new lvm-1.0.1-rc2 version.

The following things I have made before:
$ mkraid --realy-force /dev/md0
$ mkreiserfs /dev/md0
$ mount /dev/md0 /mnt
-> so I think, the raid device is ok

$ pvcreate /dev/md0
> pvcreate -- device "/dev/md0" has a partition table

$ fdisk -l /dev/md0

LVM-Version: 1.0.1-rc2      -> why is this an other version as reported
by kernel?

Does anyone know, how can I initialize the /dev/md0 device for te the lvm?

Thanks for your help,
