Hi,

the fileserver works fine on LVM, we do it for a long time here.
Your problem is the Mountpoint-name.
You can have up to 256 partitions, starting from /vicepa (0) up to 
/vicepz (25), then it goes on from /vicepaa(26), /vicepab, ... 
,/vicepaz,/vicepba,vicepbb until at some letter-pair the number 256 is 
reached.
So, using /vicep01 is just wrong, use /vicepa instead.

HTH,
