Hi

Cooker FTP install using network.img floppy.

[Custom Partitioning]
The installer detects the volume group "vg1" on /dev/hde (on a Promise
Ultra100-TX2 controller). "vg1" is empty.
Note: (before running the MDK installer). On /dev/hde using fdisk I
created an extended partition in /dev/hde4, a 1024Mb swap partition in
/dev/hde5 and the rest of the disk is /dev/hde6 as LVM (0x8e)

I toggle to expert mode.
I try to create a new logical volume:
             Size in MB: 350
        Filesystem Type: Jounalised FS: ReiserFS
            Mount Point: /
    Logical Volume Name: rootlv

Switching to Ctrl-Alt-F3 I can see:
-----------------------------------
  running: lvcreate -size 358400k -n rootlv vg1
  remove_bigseldom_used
  getFile Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/lvcreate:
  running: lvdisplay > ARRAY(0x81cb8cc) -D -c /dev/vg1/

Switching back to Ctrl-Alt-F7:
------------------------------
if I click on the partition just created I see the following details:
   Mount Point: /
   Device: vg1/
   Type: Journalised FS: ReiserFS (0x183)
   Start: sector 0
   Size: 0(0%), sectors
   Cylinder: 0 to 0
   Not Formatted


It seems odd the Device is "vg1/" when I specify "rootlv" as the name
(basically I'm expecting "/vg1/rootlv" as the device name). Also why is
the size 0, it should 350Mb...

If I carry on and try to create a 2nd logical volume for /usr for
example with a size of 5000 then eventhough I give "usrlv" as the name
of the logical volume I end up having "vg1/"

There seems to be something quite wrong here with LVM...

Any idea?
