I managed to write a lilo block (lilo) to the start of a PV which I have
on /dev/sda (note, /dev/sda is a whole disk PV, unpartitioned).
However, looking at a number of different PVs here, it appears that the
LVM data starts at 0x200 with: "LABELONE". i.e.:
# hexdump -C /dev/sdc3

Is that correct?
Is there anything I should do to repair this or is my brainfart benign
to this PV?
Thanx!
