[Gllug] LVM and /dev/sdc vs /dev/sdc1

[Alain Williams]

I recently put in a new (SATA) disk - to be partitioned under the Linux LVM.

Out of force of habit I partitioned the disk, put everything into /dev/sdc1
and gave it to the LVM. Is there any virtue in doing this rather than
giving LVM /dev/sdc -- and thus giving myself an extra block or so by not
having the partition table ?
