  I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter.

  Going back to the OP:

$ wget --quiet ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/LVM2.2.02.61.tgz
$ tar -xzf LVM2.2.02.61.tgz
$ grep -lr "must not be less than" LVM2.2.02.61

  What OS/distribution, release, and LVM version are you running?

  Are you sure that you have that error message transcribed correctly?  :)

  Let's do the infodump drill.  Post the output of:

fdisk -l /dev/sda
cat /proc/partitions
mdadm --detail /dev/md0
mdadm --detail /dev/md1
mdadm --examine /dev/sda1
mdadm --examine /dev/sdc1
mdadm --examine /dev/sdc2
pvs
vgs
lvs

  If you prefer, you may want to use http://pastebin.com/ or similar
rather than dumping it all into an email.

  You may also want to explore the following commands:

lvmdiskscan
pvscan
pvck
vgck
