[linux-lvm] problem with vgcreate

[Robert L. Harris]

Tried them both in both combinations and neither one worked.  I got a
new error message after the last reboot about the partition type.  It
was "linux" not 8e (Unknown according to fdisk).  vgcreate is working
per below now.

Probably this bizaar hardware I'm stuck with.

Thus spake Steven Lembark (lembark at wrkhors.com):
