A few days ago, I asked about an old drive that I have that has two
partitions, typed as "fd" ( Linux RAID autodetect ).  Running vgscan and
pvscan doesn't seem to produce anything that makes sense to me, because
I expect to see VGs on these two partitions.

I then went on to "pvdisplay" and see the following, which seems to say
that the "pvcreate" command was run on both partitions, but that nothing
else was done.  Am I correct, and am I dealing with two basically unused
LVM2 partitions?

  PV Name               /dev/md5
