  while the documentation suggests this utility can handle LVM, i
finished a scan earlier and, based on a guess as to what represented
the "home" logical volume, tried to select it but was told it was
corrupted. and the documentation here:

http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Menu_Analyse

doesn't say anything about LVM. so i'm letting the analyze step run
one more time, and i'll report what it summarizes at the end, if you
want to make further suggestions.

  is there any LVM-related utility that might scan a disk looking for
what appear to be logical volumes?
