Re: Crete Volgroup from anaconda ks using the whole disk

Thanks MAtthew for your answer but this is exactly what I'm triying to 
avoid... :)

I would like to have the equivalent to :
     pvcreate /dev/vdb
     vgcreate test /dev/vdb
     lvcreate -n lv_test -L 10G test

So at the end of the installation I would have a vg over no partition 
(not the whole disk but over the disk device).

Thanks
