I did not make it up, I just let Anaconda name them, because I had 
never used LVM and did not know how to do it myself.

I will get a new drive and install FC5 from scratch using a default
installation, then try to upgrade it and see if the same thing happens.

I may be able to do it tonight, but I am running a complex audit

be able to do the test, otherwise I will have to determine why 
the audit is taking so long.
