Oh, well, yeah, one of those errors you don't see even after looking ten
times at it. I actually had this line originally
volgroup VolGroup00 --noformat --pesize=32768 pv.2
and removed the --nofomrat after reading the documentation and added the
pv.2 without noticing it was already at the end. This gotta work now,
thanks!

Using names instead of the default numbering makes sense, at the moment
I'm still playing with LVM as I used to use physical partitions in the
past.
I have a question in this context: uUsing kickstart for physical machines
is the next step I want to try. I need a tftp server for this. Which one
do you use? I see atftp recommended everywhere and all tutorials are based
on it, but CentOS 5 comes with tftpd and there's no atftp package for
CentOS 5 on rpmforge.

I wasn't aware you can use a swap file. Thanks for the information, just
looked it up in the documentation.
