Hey All, 
A while back someone was looking for a way to kickstart lvm volumes without partitions, here's how I accomplished it. 

# Expects 2 vm disks 
# Disk 1 = 1GB 
# Disk 2 = DATA (5GB or larger) 
# Disk Layout 
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda 
part biosboot --fstype=biosboot --size=1 --ondisk=sda 
part /boot --fstype=xfs --size=512 --grow --ondisk=sda 
logvol swap --fstype=swap --name=swap --vgname=vg01 --size=512 
logvol /tmp --fstype xfs --name=tmp --vgname=vg01 --size=1024 
logvol / --fstype xfs --name=lv01 --vgname=vg01 --size=2048 --grow 

%pre 
pvcreate /dev/sdb 
vgcreate vg01 /dev/sdb 
vgscan 
%end 


if there are any updates, I'll update this gist, https://gist.github.com/JakeDEvans/908d9a75aa5fc24c9eee24f4912af9aa 

Thanks, 
- Jake
