Craig, I think, at least in SLES 10 and 11, when you create a volume and set the partition type, when you are done, the partition type switches back to Linux Native. This is also true if you create an MD device and set the partition type accordingly. Once you create the MD, if you look at the partition type of each disk, they are set back to native.

Is anyone using an LVM configuration with CKD or EDEV devices? We're trying to install SLES11 SP1 on EDEVs and wanted to setup a data LUN using LVM but YaSt keeps changing the type to native linux when we set it to LVM. Not sure if we are doing something wrong or LVM is not supported on these types of devices.
