I'm still trying to figure out how the naming part works tho. Now to
mount it and put something on it. See if it works.
Naming part, there are 2 ways of finding it.
1: /dev/<VolumeGroupName>/<LogicalVolumeName>
2: /dev/mapper/<VolumeGroupName>-<LogicalVolumeName>
You included a "-" in your VG-name, this is replaced with "--" under
/dev/mapper/
Let me know if something doesn't look right. Otherwise, I'll keep
playing around with it.
Looks fine so far, don't forget to put a filesystem on "/dev/sdb-vg/test"
to be able to mount it somewhere :)

The naming I was talking about was sort of like a label. I wanted to
use test, where I might use say data in real use, but ended up with this:
root@fireball / # df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
<< SNIP >>
/dev/mapper/sdb--vg-test
51606140 184268 48800432 1% /mnt/temp
root@fireball / #
I don't mind the sdb--vg part tho. I guess that sort of points to what
all is needed to get to that point. Might come in handy if I needed to
remove something tho. Sort of tells me what is what.
I did try to mount it before putting a file system on it. I sort of
missed that part somewhere. I knew it needed it, just forgot to do it.
Mount sort of puked on my keyboard to remind me. lol
Whew !! Progress. Oh, someone posted a link to a site that had
pictures. That helped a good bit. It needed more detail tho. I'm
going to do some google image searches and see what I can find.
Thanks much.
