Have a look at > this function to see why it thinks so. no this should be normal i believe the problem lies somewhere else in the damned cache i tested it on one of my systems, i have 4 disks and 4 md devices there md/0 is not detected md/1 to md/3 are and lvmdiskscan says i have 5 disks and 3 md devices. look in http://www.comedia.it/bluca/lvm/ you will find lvmdiskscan output for md0 (not working) md1 (working) and a diff file between the two that may help debugging basically pv_read is called for md/1 and not for md/0 (i was using current cvs) i will look further into this problem since i have to build a new lvm over md but if someone else looks in it the better.
