HI Thomas
I normally create a vg with vgcreate, with these steps:
1) Create the physical volume:
    pvcreate /dev/sdb
    pvcreate /dev/sdc
2) Then create the Volume Group:
    vgcreate vg00 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
3) Create the lv
    lvcreate -L 40960M -n lvxpto /dev/vg00
4) then mke2fs -j /dev/vg00/lvxpto
5) This way, if you need more space to create new lv or to extende lvxpto,
you nedd to extend the vg00 with vgextend

I Hope that this helps you
Gon=E7alo
