That's because I was responding to Denny's problem, based on my own experience
with DFSee, which is only natural. I was trying to offer help. I was NOT trying to tell
everyone what I did with LVM and DFSee and what my intent was in doing that. That
was not the objective at ALL!

Yup, you are probably right there. But, again, I did not know this (that the message
occurs only if you attempt a JFS volume, etc). I simply got the particular message in
DFSee and passed that information on as an issue.

And by the way, I disargee with the assessment that the DFSee message (the
message to not create a volume and assign a drive letter) only occurs, if you are trying
to make a JFS partition. Please re-read my last E-Mail. At the time that I got the DFSee
message I was only trying to create an "LVM-AWARE" partition. I had NOT yet
formatted it as JFS or anything at all. Therefore, at this point, how does DFSee know
that I'm going to create a JFS partition? Does "LVM-aware" equate to "JFS"? I thought
you can have LMV-aware partitions that are FAT32, or NTFS, or (non-booting) HPFS.
Am I wrong on this?
