LVM based partition
Hi ,
Background : I am installing the KVM based RHEL OS VM on one of the HP pro-line physical server.
Issue: While doing custom layout partition, i want to create partition lvm based , for example :lv_root.
But problem is that, whenever i am creating the partition, its showing /sda1 something.
Can you please tell me what is the problem ?
Regards,
Nats

cap(5) terminal data base. Entries in disktab consist of a number of `:' separated fields. The first entry for each disk gives the names
which are known for the disk, separated by `|' characters. The last name given should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
The following list indicates the normal values stored for each disk entry.
