[linux-lvm] lvm1 to lvm2 upgrade failed: confused on pv between sda1 and md5

[Marc MERLIN <marc_lvm@merlins.org>]

The VG is seen, but not the one LV in there

kernel: 2.6.14
  LVM version:     2.01.04 (2005-02-09)
  Library version: 1.01.00-ioctl (2005-01-17)
  Driver version:  4.4.0

My PV for /dev/dshelf3 is /dev/md5
The VG is found, but not the LV within it, apparently because LVM
selects /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/md5.

Sure enough, that drive is part of the raid set:
gargamel:~# cat /proc/mdstat | grep sda1
md5 : active raid5 sdg1[6] sdf1[5] sde1[4] sdd1[3] sdc1[2] sdb1[1] sda1[0]

vgdisplay -vv (abbridged) gives:
      /dev/sda1: lvm1 label detected
      /dev/md2: lvm1 label detected
      /dev/md4: lvm2 label detected

gargamel:~# vgchange -a y dshelf3
  0 logical volume(s) in volume group "dshelf3" now active

Can I help LVM2 find the LV in there somehow?

BTW, note that LVM2 did say "using md /dev/md5 (instead of /dev/sda1) and 
still showed /dev/sda1 as a PV for dshelf3 instead

Thanks
Marc
