e.g. if you install a drive and it shows up in your OS as /dev/foo
of size 1TB, then:
# pvcreate /dev/foo
# vgcreate myvg /dev/foo
Now you have a volume group called "myvg" with ~1TB (some space
reserved for metadata) available for allocation.
This might be where I have gotten confused as online tutorial indicates
to fdisk the disk first in partitions.
Make physical volumes of the partitions then create a volume group of
the partitions.
You are saying that there is no need to use fdisk to make partitions ?
Can make Volume Group of raw device eg /dev/sdc after first saying it is
a Physical Volume ?
