[linux-lvm] df doesn't display increased available disk space

[Erik Ohrnberger]

Robert,
    When you say type 8e, it makes me think of the partition table, not
the filesystem, which would be etx2 or etx3 or XFS or Reiserfs or ....

    Now when a partition is marked as type 8e, it is an LVM partition.

    Best of luck,
        Erik.
