LVM, being an IBM software, is rather unaccepting of anything it does not
totally understand about the drive content. This results in the kinds of
errors messages you are seeing.

The usual fix is to use dfsee to create the volumes and clean up the
partition and LVM structures. Dfsee has a much deeper understanding of
all this than LVM ever will.
