is lvm deprecated?

[Mike Wright]

Hi all,

This is wrt f10.

I have an 80G drive.  When I installed f10 I chose a custom layout for 
it.  My intent was to have a separate /boot partition, swap partition, 
and 4 lvms of approx. 20G each.

When all was said and done the drive ended up looking like this:

/dev/sda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/sda2              14        2435    19454715   83  Linux
/dev/sda3            2436        4857    19454715   8e  Linux LVM
/dev/sda4            4858        9964    41021977+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5            4858        7279    19454683+  8e  Linux LVM
/dev/sda6            7280        7406     1020096   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7            7407        9964    20547103+  8e  Linux LVM

Certainly not what I intended.

Tried lvdisplay and got no results.  Tried lvscan first then lvdisplay 
and got the same outcome.  vgdisplay, ditto.  pvdisplay, nada.  fdisk 
seems to think there are logical volumes.

cat /etc/mtab and I see this: /dev/mapper/pdc_gdgdgcfhp1 (and 2).  In 
fact in /dev/mapper there are 9 of these.

Anybody know where this is documented?  Is lvm dead?  Inquiring minds 
want to know ;)

Thanks for any insight,
Mike Wright
