Hi David,
The reason behind this question is I want to install a Virtual Server.
This server will have 2 disks, the first one for /boot and mapped to a
lv in the physical server, the second disk will be for system and /home
and will be mapped to a lv in the physical server also.
I know /home will grow quickly due to the use of the server. So if I
create the PV and VG on a partition (vdb1) when I need extend the disk I
need to add new partitions, in a few extends I will have many partitions
on the disk or many new disks in the virtual server. In the other hand
If I create the PV and VG on the device (vdb) I just need to extend the
LV in the physical server, ensure the virtual server recognizes the new
space on the disk and pvextend, vgextend and lvextend.
Am I wrong ?
Thanks for your time :)

Thanks MAtthew for your answer but this is exactly what I'm triying to
avoid... :)
I would like to have the equivalent to :
pvcreate /dev/vdb
vgcreate test /dev/vdb
lvcreate -n lv_test -L 10G test
So at the end of the installation I would have a vg over no partition
(not the whole disk but over the disk device).
One question I have is: Besides the academic exercise of being able to
do it, is there a requirement to do it? I understand wanting to know if
something is possible just for the sake of knowing, but do you have a
functional reason that you _need_ to write to the disk rather than a
partition?
