Discription
===========
trying to create a logical volume with yast on a dmraid failed with error code
-4017.

HW:
Chipset Nvidia N570, RAID Controller "JMicron JMB363 P-/S-ATA Controller"
HD: 2x SATA 

RAID:
RAID1 with 2x SATA disks in JMicron ROM RAID Setup configured. Bootflag
enabled. 

Installation History
====================
During installation the raid was detected an d configured as 
/dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc
There are 2 partitions:
/dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part1 (/boot)
/dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part2  (/)

Steps after installation
========================
1) Calling 
yast partitioner 
to create /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3 as LVM partition
2) reboot
3) calling
yast lvm
Yast LVM -> 
new Group 'xen' -> 
add pv '/dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3' to group 'xen' -> 
create lv 'dom0' in group 'xen' -> 
Apply.
This results in the following yast2 error message (box):
----
Error
Failure occurred during following action:
Creating volume group xen from /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3

System error code was: -4017

Please have a look at the attached y2log snippet for this action.



Additional information
======================
1) During the creation of the partition /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3 there
was an error from kpartx which about failed rereading the partition table. This
was solved with the reboot.
2) Calling
xen0:/ # pvcreate /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3
  Physical volume "/dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3" successfully created
xen0:/ # vgcreate xen /dev/mapper/nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3
  Volume group "xen" successfully created
xen0:/ # lvcreate -L 5G -n dom0 xen
  Logical volume "dom0" created
xen0:/ # ll /dev/mapper/
brw------- 1 root root 253, 3 Jan  1 11:42 nvidia_ehjbbcgc_part3
brw------- 1 root root 253, 4 Jan  1 11:53 xen-dom0

created the desired lv, so i assume this is not a hw/kernelmodule issue or a
problem with the backend tools.
