hi,

i never thought to try it *without* init'ing the filesystem ...

now, with just the 'lvcreate ...' step, and no 'mkfs ...', i see @

  http://.../admin/volumes_physical.html

a bit different result,

       /dev/xvdb     IDE     19.99 GB     gpt     0 (view)

which shows 'gpt' instead of 'loop'.

and, @

  http://.../admin/volumes_editpartitions.html?dev=%2Fdev%2Fxvdb

i now have the option to

     "Create a partition in /dev/xvdb"

i can now create, and manage physical volume, volume group, and logical volumes.

excellent!  many thanks!
