I hope I did not miss something

gparted see the parttion /dev/sda7 and recognize it as lvm but nothing from
there.
except that I got LVM isn't yet supported.

it looks like the metedata is corrupted but the actual information is there
(as when you loose the the parrtion table from the mbr (446-510))
