Thanks for your replya. I thought the the 'in use' and inability to create the 
volume were connected. After downgrading the parted I was able to create the 
physical partition followed by the volume.

That leaves me with a follow-up problem. Although I can create the volume group 
I can't then create a new volume as no groups show in the drop down list. 

pvdisplay shows:

  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/sda4
  VG Name               data
  PV Size               58.09 GB / not usable 0
  Allocatable           yes
  PE Size (KByte)       32768
  Total PE              1859
  Free PE               1859
  Allocated PE          0
  PV UUID               XX0cLQ-nwO3-jKWA-hl4D-QXQQ-Drti-E9gxNw

vgdisplay shows:

--- Volume group ---

  Alloc PE / Size       0 / 0
  Free  PE / Size       1859 / 58.09 GB
  VG UUID               Ko16uQ-pvHC-LAwp-rwtC-4tSu-YKJc-t7hzLP

lvdisplay shows:

Volume group "storage" is exported

which only contains an exported group. I'm somewhat lost here, is this another 
problem or something I'm doing.

Regards

Bill
