hi,

PT> It means that LVM is indeed using the scrambled array for those devices.
PT>  Use "dmsetup ls" to identify them.

[root@gateway ~]# dmsetup ls
vg_gateway-lv_data      (253, 2)
vg_gateway-lv_var       (253, 1)
vg_gateway-lv_home      (253, 0)
[root@gateway ~]#

those LVs are in use and on /dev/sda3 which LVM claims to use instead
of /dev/md1

PT> That also means my previous advice is wrong--you can't just shut it off.
PT>  It would be helpful if you could run "lsdrv" [1] on your system and
PT> report the results here.

[root@gateway lsdrv-master]# ./lsdrv

looks weird, obviously some charset problem, hope that all the needed
