You set up a normal disk partition, not a LVM volume. If you 
intended to add your new disk to LVM, you have done a lot of 
useless work that you must undo before you can start using LVM. 
Move your home directory back to / and remove the partition from 
fstab.

The LVM howto has instructions for adding a new drive to an 
existing LVM system:
