Try it out and see what happens. Create an lv using all available space on all the pvs and if it's created, then things must be working right and lvm doesn't need the 8e partiton type. If not, then simply use fdisk to change the partition type and try it again. Then you will have proven practical usage (which means something) as opposed to opinions (which mean very little) alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
