UTILITY\LOGICAL VOLUME MANAGER\create volume

I don't know what else to call it. It reminds me of Linux.

I have a freshly built drive where an as-installed eCS can see FAT16 and
HPFS but not FAT32. I tried to create volumes as above. They didn't
stick. Next boot LVM did not have them assigned. I added them with
DFSee. DFSee now says they have LVM info, but they do not have a drive
letter and they are not seen. If I substitute DANIDASD all partitions
get drive letters in their natural order. That leads me to believe
FAT32.IFS is working.

That and my attempts to boot eCS after a FAT32 partition leads me to
believe that LVM does not work unless you boot with IBM Boot Manager.
If I try to boot eCS, after a FAT32, with Acronis, I get "unable to
operate" right after basedevs. If I select BM from Acronis and then the
same eCS, it boots.
