If you want to be sure that nothing exists on the volumes in the LVM, 
send a new posting with the title related to activating LVM and finding 
out how to mount these partitions. I believe that pvscan will show you 
the physical volumes contained in the Logical volume. lvscan should show 
you the Logical volumes.

I avoid LVMs mostly so I know little about managing the LVMs.
