LVM over RAID--checkfs problem

In case others are trying this, I installed lvm2 management to a raid array.

During boot, it would complain about finding two identical lvm volumes. It was looking at the component drices of my raid1 array, which naturally are duplicates of each other.

The problem is that checkfs runs the LVM setup before assmebling the RAID arrays, so
it will run into the raw drives before the raid array is up.

I just reversed the order of procedure in the checkfs script, and it came up fine.

I was having the same problem where lvm wont start if raid isn't started first. Here is the bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51248
