[linux-lvm] LVM and Device Mapper

["C'est Pierre" <cestpierre@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I've setup multipath with multipath-tools and I guess everything is OK
there. However, I can't get lvm to recognize the multipath'ed devices:

# dmsetup ls
3600508b40010130d00006000011c0000p1     (253, 4)
system-lv03     (253, 2)
system-lv01     (253, 1)
system-lv00     (253, 0)
dm-3p2  (253, 7)
dm-3p1  (253, 6)

# pvcreate /dev/dm-3p2
  Device /dev/dm-3p2 not found.

# pvcreate /dev/mapper/3600508b40010130d00006000011c0000p2
  Device /dev/mapper/3600508b40010130d00006000011c0000p2 not found.

Does anyone have any guess on what the problem might be? I seem to be
one-step from getting this solved and I am going through these
hassles.

Thank you,
Pierre
