Was this it?

- Add sysfs filter patch - Allow non-root users to build RPM
Didn't fix the raid 1 problem for me. Unless I manually exclude raid member devices in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, I get:
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found duplicate PV o4Icc0yt8OloT89tnJ5xq156XCwYEczT: using /dev/sda3 not /dev/hda2
This failure mode is particularly bad when your root fs is in such an LVM device, and you just rebuilt all of your initrd images with the new, ``fixed´´ lvm binary and without lvm.conf. But even if I run it after booting from a working-lvm.conf initrd, if I run vgscan on the running system without lvm.conf, it fails just the same (and it scarily fails to complete)
Want me to bugzilla this?
