They both work, just like lvcreate /dev/myvgname also works. But we do need
this if this 'nested lvm' thing actually exists as the reporter mentioned, or
user uses a symlink as the target path (I'm not saying that's a valid use case
but it's a data point).

Also the man pages for lvremove and lvchange but use that format in their
examples.

Thanks,
Cole
