Thanks for your replya. I thought the the 'in use' and inability to create the 
volume were connected. After downgrading the parted I was able to create the 
physical partition followed by the volume.

That leaves me with a follow-up problem. Although I can create the volume group 
I can't then create a new volume as no groups show in the drop down list.

pvdisplay shows:

  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/sda4
  VG Name               data
  PV Size               58.09 GB / not usable 0
  Allocatable           yes
  PE Size (KByte)       32768
  Total PE              1859
  Free PE               1859
  Allocated PE          0
  PV UUID               XX0cLQ-nwO3-jKWA-hl4D-QXQQ-Drti-E9gxNw

vgdisplay shows:

--- Volume group ---
  VG Name               data
  System ID
  Format                lvm2
  Metadata Areas        1
  Metadata Sequence No  1
  VG Access             read/write
  VG Status             resizable
  MAX LV                0
  Cur LV                0
  Open LV               0
  Max PV                0
  Cur PV                1
  Act PV                1
  VG Size               58.09 GB
  PE Size               32.00 MB
  Total PE              1859
  Alloc PE / Size       0 / 0
  Free  PE / Size       1859 / 58.09 GB
  VG UUID               Ko16uQ-pvHC-LAwp-rwtC-4tSu-YKJc-t7hzLP

lvdisplay shows:

Volume group "storage" is exported

which only contains an exported group. I'm somewhat lost here, is this another 
problem or something I'm doing.

Sorry, but I'm unable to reproduce this problem. Did you perform any manual steps when you were trying to get parted working?

Try

vgchange -an
vgremove data
vgremove storage

vgdisplay to make sure there's nothing else

Go back into the GUI and recreate the volume group.

This looks like it's going to have to be the universal fix until OF
2.3 is out.

I'm recooking the group now to make 1.6.22 the default parted.
