[linux-lvm] Error: Doesn't contain a valid partition table

[Ramesh Nadupalli]

Dear All,

I am trying to build a new linux VM using RHEL6.2. I have created the
partitions using lvm. Everything works fine, but when I execute "fdisk -l"
I am getting the below errors. Is this expected? If so, how to fix the
errors?

Disk /dev/mapper/vg00-root doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/mapper/vg00-opt doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/mapper/vg00-tmp doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/mapper/vg00-var doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/mapper/vg00-usr doesn't contain a valid partition table
Disk /dev/mapper/vg00-home doesn't contain a valid partition table

Complete output of fdisk -l is given below:
