[linux-lvm] LVM2 Volume and Volume group naming nomenclature

[Olivier Eymere]

Not sure what problems you were having with creating
your volume group but I freed up some disk space and
created VG00 just to be sure:

le:~# vgcreate VG00 /dev/hda4
  Volume group "VG00" successfully created
le:~# vgdisplay VG00
  --- Volume group ---
