Yes. The LVM info is stored in the EBR which preceed the parition itself.
One easy way to understand the relationship is to use the dfsee

plist w

command and look at the sector numbers.

dfsee can do that for you.

eCS does not "see" partitions. It sees volumes. You create the volume
and tell OS/2 to use an existing partition as the volume content.

It's one of the menu options.

IBM's LVM is a bit stupid at reporting some errors. Serenity intends to
rewrite LVM to make is less stupid. It has already done some of this with
miniLVM.

>FAT32 it calls unknown. What's this tit-for-tat?

I'm not sure I understand the question. FAT32 is unknown unless you
install the FAT32 driver.
