Re: LVM installation

[Marc Lemaire <marc@moremagic.com>]

   I seem to recall that you have to first partition the disks using a 
specific format type (fd?), then use those predefined partitions to 
complete the LVM setup. The idea is that you must define the physical 
layout so LVM can make a virtual layout on the disks. I did this with my 
rx4640-4 to create a software raid structure, and got a very similar 
error when I failed to create partitions of type fd before attempting to 
define the software raid.
   You may already understand all this (or my memory could be horribly 
wrong), in which case you should probably just ignore me =)
