Create a RAID-1 array, md0. Then do the following: mke2fs /dev/md0 e2label /dev/md0 foo add to /etc/fstab: LABEL=foo /misc ext3 defaults 1 1 mount /misc <look at filesystem> umount /misc pvcreate /dev/md0 vgcreate wibble /dev/md0 lvcreate --size=<whatever> -name wow bar mke2fs /dev/bar/wow e2label /dev/bar/wow foo Then: # mount /misc mount: error: the label foo occurs on both md0 and dm-0 Shouldn't making the LVM volume get rid of the old filesystem label somehow? You can always run 'e2label /dev/md0 ""' to delete the label, but running that on the the raw RAID volume under the LVM seems unwise.
