I really am happy you found the glitch. I just wanted to let you know that my raid1 system is a bit different. My /boot & /root partitions are on /md0 (not under LVM2). I have 7 partitions under /md1, but /home /var /tmp are 3 of those partitions. 'Don't know if that affects your analysis, which is undoubtedly correct, but may require some extension.. If you are going to file a bug report, you may suggest that more complexity may/can exist. I was going to reinstall as a cruft clean-up exercise. Not Now!! Until this gets fixed... Thanks, for your effort.. Keep me informed please...
