# pvcreate /dev/hdb
# vgcreate devel /dev/hdb
# vgchange -a y devel
# lvcreate -L12 -n alpha devel
# lvcreate -L12 -n beta devel

These were mainly taken (or learnt) from:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/commontask.html

Please note that the logical volumes are behaving 'normally' since I
am able to create files on them, and read them.

Happy hacking,
