If you are attempting to create NSS volumes on free space on the same disk
as / or /boot, then you need to make sure you installed EVMS at install
time. If so, take a look at:

If you have a separate drive on which you are putting the NSS volumes, you
might try using nssmu at the command line.

we had gret difficulty in this. the evm/lvm method works well on ide but
didn't work very well (actually not at all) on our IBMx345. we partitioned
the raid to two logical drives (10G and the rest). NSS can see two seperate
drives and can quite happily use the second drive for NSS. NSS runs like a
dog tho.
Formatting the second drive as Ext3 runs sooo much sweeter. It can be
configured as a "ncp mount" so could be useful for you if you have all your
disk in one logical drive.
