Bug#705076: gpart: fails to recognize lvm2 partitions
Package: gpart
Version: 0.1h-11+b1
Severity: wishlist
gpart fails to detect lvm2 physical volumes, which ought to easy to
recognize.
the test setup i used was like this:
* dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 count=4096 of=./test
* losetup /dev/loop1 ./test
* fdisk /dev/loop1 # create a single partition with default parameters
* sudo kpartx -a /dev/loop1
* pvcreate /dev/mapper/loop1p1
* gpart ./test
lvm partitions are pretty widespread these days, so users could
reasonably assume those partition types to be detected. i'd therefore
suggest to add lvm2 support to gpart.
