response is   free  PE  /  Size  1  /  32MB

Is this what I should see?,  I use ??? for the extent in the next line.

I assume that I make an ext3 filesystem before I mount it?


The drive I am adding, was used before, for a week, on another computer for 
this same Myth distro and is formatted and set up exactly like this new 
install. I can't figure out what goes in fstab for hdb3 [ a LVM the same as 
hda3 ] so I could mount it and maybe copy some stuff over before I delete the 
3 partitions to make one big partition.  Could I express myself worse?  I 
think the problem is in the /dev section.
