[linux-lvm] brainfart: lilo'd a PV

[Brian J. Murrell]

I managed to write a lilo block (lilo) to the start of a PV which I have
on /dev/sda (note, /dev/sda is a whole disk PV, unpartitioned).

However, looking at a number of different PVs here, it appears that the
LVM data starts at 0x200 with: "LABELONE".  i.e.:

# hexdump -C /dev/sdc3

Is that correct?

Is there anything I should do to repair this or is my brainfart benign
to this PV?

Thanx!
