Well, it works fine w/ the 2.4 kernel & prior 2.5's, I think my lv is
fine...

spans 4 entire discs and one partition

Dunno if it matters, but the 80G is 2 striped 40s on a 3ware controller,
the 120, 100, and 10 are on a Promise U133 card, and the 40 gig
partition is on the native VIA controller. Top it all of this is an SMP
box.

> 3) The version of LVM that *created* the lv.
1.0.3, I **think**. I know it rev'd to 1.0.4 or 1.0.5 before I added
another disc or two. Upgraded to lvm2 a couple months back. Just
recently did a 'vgconvert -M2 cheese_vg' to see if that helped things,
but didn't seem to matter.
