Hi,

I have a software RAID volume (of four 160 GB harddisk) which is to be 
added to a separate volume group. Now, when I do a pvcreate (pvcreate 
/dev/md3), it fails saying "Invalid phyiscal volume". All the disks in 
the RAID volume have their partition type set to "linux auto detect". 
One of the mails in a mailing list says that the partition type of the 
md0 should be "8e".

How do I change the partition type ? fdisk /dev/md3 does not show any 
partition.


Thanks,
Prakash
