[lvm-devel] [PATCH 6/8] Update vgcreate and vgextend man pages to clarify implicit pvcreate.

[Dave Wysochanski]

vgcreate and vgextend now implicitly call pvcreate on devices not
currently initialized for LVM use.  Previously these commands would
fail with an error, so clarify the new behavior in the man page.

 ) to an existing volume group to extend it in size.
