Hi,

We have a SAN that exports 4 LUNs. These appear as SCSI devices on the 
server (/dev/sd[c-f]). When I try to create physical volumes on these 
devices, I get the following error:

#>pvcreate /dev/sdc
   Physical volume "/dev/sdc" successfully created

#>pvcreate /dev/sdd
   Found duplicate PV ZlhU50ejJ1VkoULTcU5ODsl2BP26IjQW: using /dev/sdc 
not /dev/sdd
   Found duplicate PV ZlhU50ejJ1VkoULTcU5ODsl2BP26IjQW: using /dev/sde 
not /dev/sdd
   Found duplicate PV ZlhU50ejJ1VkoULTcU5ODsl2BP26IjQW: using /dev/sdf 
not /dev/sdd
   Physical volume "/dev/sdd" successfully created

This happens after pvcreate is run the second time, does not matter in 
which order. It looks like when pvcreate sets the device id, it somehow 
sets it for all the devices.

Debian/Sarge

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


Thanks for any ideas.
