This worked fine, but on reboot I get a ton of errors from LVM saying that volume with id xxxx-xxxx-xxxx... was not found and the system automatically reboots. This seems to happen for all volumes, not just the ones I changed. This error even happens for a separate volume group (called 'extended') that is on a separate set of disks and was existing prior to the CentOS 5 install.

Any idea on some step I missed? I know things are still fine on the disks, as when I boot with the CentOS DVD with the 'linux rescue' option all RAID & LVM volumes are available for use. So from this it seems I need to update some CentOS config file?

Did you re-create the initrd after adding the new raid group? Not 100% about this but my guess would be that the initrd isn't starting md2 and thus can't find the pv on that raid device.

Hi Shad,

That solved it!

Thanks so much for the help. Awesome group on here, BTW, 4 responses within a hour or two of my post, and a solution!
