The lvm handbook addendum is no longer and we are instead to use the software raid + lvm2 quick install guide.
That guide makes a few partitions of type linux raid and then puts lvm on a mirrored set (more is done). I wasn't using raid so skipped that step and wound up with one partition as a pv in my single vg and created several lvs in that vg. So far so good. But I realized that the single partition that I used was of type linux instead of linux lvm as I had always done when following the lvm handbook addendum. So what, I've made plenty of mistakes before, and will surely make plenty more later. But the resulting system works perfectly! If this is risky; I can reinstall. But I wonder if any action is necessary. What do you think? allan
