Hey,
(sorry for cross-posting, you will find this message also in centos-virt, maybe, but this was not intended and a mistake)

I have a system with a mdraid 1

...
md1 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
     1465031488 blocks [2/2] [UU]
...

this raid partition has a lvm physical volume with one volume group and several logical volumes. This machine is running since years and I seldom touch the lvm config. The lvm commands are giving me strange warnings I am uncomfortable with

What does this "Found duplicate PV b79x0kLXR9mAC0z0IZUxyJG1VC24Crl7: using /dev/sda2 not /dev/md1" message?
Some logical volumes are virtual disks vor kvm guests. Are these guests using sda only and not the mdraid?
