With a new install, you should need to do anything except provide a mount pount in /etc/fstab. The lvcreate/pvcreate etc is not necessary. Basically you've gone and repartitioned your drive (not exactly, but close) All that is needed something like # LVM initialization, take 2 (it could be on top of RAID) if [ -e /proc/lvm -a -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /etc/lvmtab ]; then action $"Setting up Logical Volume Management:" /sbin/vgscan && /sbin/vgchange -a y fi This is from RH7.3 so it's definitely in FC3 (and FC4 since I use FC4).
