Can't you just dump/restore the logical volumes instead of the
partitions?
Or you could always partition the disk the "traditional" way manually
instead of letting anaconda create the LVM setup.

I would love to just do the logical volumes, but when I boot with the
rescue disk and run fdisk -l all I see is the partitions. It won't even
let me mount the lvm partition, what's with that? What is the reasoning
for all these changes? Can anyone mount their core3 partition? I noticed
the partition changes during the install and just thought I'd try out
the new way, but I'm a little confused. Is there anything in the release
notes or a howto for this new way?
