Question Linux LVM 1.X and muliple path

Hi all,

yes this is a linux question Smilie but also a LVM question.
Some time ago, I saw an posting, LVM Version 1.X is abe to handle multiple physical pathes to a disk with using md devices. Is this right ?

Now I am planing to create a san and want use linux fileservers with LVM v1.X and most likely with multiple pathes.

Does someone know a HOWTO and something else, I can read how to do this ?

Thanks a lot

Cheers
Alex

NAME
pvremove - remove LVM data structure from a physical volume SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The command clears the LVM data structure on a disk, so that it is no longer an LVM physical volume. The device may then be used by the file system or by other volume managers. The operation is denied if pv_path is assigned to a volume group. The command only clears the LVM data structure on a disk if the disk does not belong to a volume group. This avoids accidentally removing a valid physical volume under a volume group. If the physical volume to be removed belongs to a volume group, use the command to first remove the volume group associated with the physical volume. Arguments recognizes the following arguments: pv_path The character (raw) device path name of a physical volume. EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables determines the language in which messages are displayed. If is not specified or is null, it defaults to "C" (see lang(5)). If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default to "C" (see environ(5)). EXAMPLES
