This is to be expected. because it is possible to have partition tables on logical volumes created by LVM. if you don't like this use the "filter" line in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to include/exclude what you want to be searched. This is also useful if you want to exclude multipathed/mirrored devices. James > Dear All, > > I am trying to build a new linux VM using RHEL6.2. I have created the > partitions using lvm.
