I'll second that. I forgot to zero out one of my disks from a test raid setup & the when I rebooted for the 5.2 upgrade, lvm refused to start - duplicate uuid - IIRC. 5.1 + updates didn't present the problem, so something was changed in that regard for 5.2. mdadm --examine <pv device(s)> will tell if there's raid metadata there, --zero-superblock will erase it. -- Toby Bluhm Alltech Medical Systems America, Inc. 30825 Aurora Road Suite 100 Solon Ohio 44139 440-424-2240 ext203
