Why do you think that the partition is a LVM physical volume? 
Type 83 is a regular Linux partition, a LVM volume should have 
type 8e. Try following the advise in the error message and 
specify the filesystem type (ext3 by default).

You don't mount LVM partitions directly. You mount LVM logical 
volumes.
