[CentOS] LVM problem after adding new (md) PV

Hello,
I have a weird problem after adding new PV do LMV volume group.
It seems the error comes out only during boot time. Please read the story.

I have couple of 1U machines. They all have two, four or more Fujitsu-Siemens
SAS 2,5" disks, which are bounded in Raid1 pairs with Linux mdadm.
First pair of disks has always two arrays (md0, md1). Small md0 is used
for booting and the rest - md1 is used as PV for volume group (vg0).
When I need to enlarge the volume, I just add 2 new disks, create
a raid 1 array of their whole space I add it as another mdX to vg0.

That has been working fine since yesterday.  I received new disks
branded by Toshiba (Toshiba bought Fujitsu-Simens hdd business)
which were supposed to be added as disk no 3 and 4.
As far as I remember I've done everything in the same way as before:

- They come out as sdc and sdd, so I
- fdisk /dev/sdc, created one primary parition of whole space, type fd
- the same with /dev/sdd
- mdadm --create /dev/md2 -R -l 1 -n 2 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
- array has been created and syncronized
- pvcreate /dev/md2
- vgextend vg0 /dev/md2

and it looks fine:

I have no idea were the problem is. I could paste vgck result here
but its long, is it nessesary?


I have yet another machine with the same setup and the same new
Toshiba disks and it shows even some more errors:

but then later:

and after boot all 7 logical volumes work fine.



Where could be the problem with these errors?
