Yes Todd, the LVM was still there from the original install and I spent alot of time and tools trying to remove the lvm to start over. I looked through the forums and docs,,there was nothing there about reinstalling or removing orig.lvm vol's, etc.
SO, there's no way to get to the commands you suggest if the 2nd install never gets to that point due to the old LVM. sits at 73% and won't finish fresh install.
I still think the doc's steps to join is not right (works for some I guess) based on many posts for dss smb-ADS help like mine.
