Operating Systems Linux Creating /boot partition for LVM VG Post 302853493 by Scott on Saturday 14th of September 2013 03:05:28 PM

I don't find it all too surprising that a volume group on a disk you just partitioned with fdisk has disappeared. It kinda makes sense to partition the disk before creating volume groups and the like. If you remove the partitions again with fdisk, your volume group should re-appear.

The subject of your thread (Creating /boot partition for LVM VG) is a tad confusing. I trust you were not trying to create an LVM volume for the /boot partition? That's not a great idea because GRUB can't read those.
