Q: Repartitioning my disks, problems.

I recently installed the Yosemite Beta preview, for which I had created a separate partition of 100 GB called "Yosemite Beta" from the 500 GB Macintosh HD.

After doing this, (since I previously had problems with OS X Mavericks), I used the recovery disk to format the Mavericks partition. All fine till then.

But after this, I needed to combine both the previous Mavericks partition(395 GB) with my current Yosemite Beta partition. But I am not able to use the "-" sign to delete the Mavericks partition because "this partition can't be modified". It also looks like I have lost my Macintosh HD in the process. My current disk map looks like this:

Things to note: Screen Shot 2014-08-04 at 7.25.06 pm.png

1. Yosemite Beta(at the very top, where Macintosh HD is supposed to be) is just 103 GB and of type Logical volume Group.

2. MAVERICKS is mounted on /Volumes and not on / (Looks like its no more a part of my main partition system).

 

Now I wish to add all the 395 GB of Mavericks space into my regular Yosemite Beta. Moreover, how can I rename "Yosemite Beta" back to "Macintosh HD"?

I'm ready to post any other required information to love this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone who helps!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
