Here are the commands I used to partition the GPT drives in my Dell 1850 server, and set them up for LVM use.  I had to install the "parted" utility first and use that in place of fdisk since fdisk doesn't work on GPT drives.  The text inside of parantheses are merely notes and not commands.  The interesting thing is that parted doesn't recognize the partitions as sda1, sda2, etc, but LVM still recognized them with that syntax.


parted /dev/sda
	mkpart primary ext2 19.5 32000  (first three partitions used 0 - 19.5Gigs)
	set 4 lvm on  (sets fourth partition to be used as LVM partition)

parted /dev/sdb
	mkpart primary ext2 0 32000 (made the whole sdb drive as one partition)
	set 1 lvm on    (set first [only] partition for LVM use)

parted -l

pvcreate /dev/sdb1

apt-get install lvm2

pvcreate /dev/sdb1

pvcreate /dev/sda4

vgcreate vg1 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb1

lvcreate -n lv1 -L 41G vg1

mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg1/lv1
