New Lesson of the day
Don't:
#1 - Create an LVM root paritition on a single disk
#2 - Create a 3 disk md RAID5 set.
#3 - Add that set to the volume group.
#4 - attempt to remove the original disk holding the root partition, hoping for a clean migration.

Hard hang.
On reboot, drops be to busybox shell with LVM error messages.

Oh well.

New dont put root partition in any LVM
if the disk scheme fails so does root. If root fails you pop in a cd or netboot and restore.
thanx,
