OK, good work. It seems:
- sdb1 is marked with a partition type ext2, but hasn't been formatted
with that file system yet. To be sure, perhaps try fsck.vfat and others,
which should also fail... If so depending on the size you might like to
make this your /home partition. Another alternative is to mark it as
LVM, then add it to the VG0, and then extend an existing or add a new LV
within that space.
Thanks for sticking with me Dave. I tried fsck with vfat, msdos, ntfs,
reiser, ext 2 & 3 to no avail. I got the list of superblocks for block
sizes 1024, 2048 and 4096 but they didn't help either.
This is my favourite way of finding what's on an unknown disk:
08:05 [summer@numbat ~]$ sudo dd if=/dev/hda1 count=20 | file -
20+0 records in
20+0 records out
10240 bytes (10 kB) copied, 0.000206112 seconds, 49.7 MB/s
/dev/stdin: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery)
oddly, this fails here if I give file more data!. It also does not
recognise LVMs.
