 Oh, that's a good point!  pvcreate doesn't do anything in the LVM
database or Volume Group; it essentially just does some sanity checks
and then sets up metadata structures on the PV.  You could be able to
do that from any working Linux system, and then reboot back into
Fedora and run vgextend to add the PV to the VG.

  It ain't that far off for the rest of the country, either.  <rueful grin>

  Wow.  That's an expensive cat.  :-(
