There are no third-party tools that I know of outside of DFSee that are
LVM compatible.

The part about 0F partitions is also probably true.  I know the first
version of the DOS Partition Magic that complains about large extended
partitions not being 0F if it encountered any is PM 6.0, so 5.0 might
not recognize it.  If you aren't using Windows on the machine, though,
it's probably a moot point.
