Hi, I am trying to get my system booting so that all filesystems are on lvm (apart from /boot obviously). I am moving from a normal setup. I have created my lv's and copied the data over, set up grub but when it tries to boot it cannot find the vg/lv's. If I boot up with my old root partition I have to run vgscan;vgchange -ay to make the partitons active. How do I make this happen automatically during boot so that the kernel can use lvm as the root partition? On a similar note, I just installed etch 64-bit on another box, and the installer created the lvm stuff, but on reboot cannot find my vg. I am assuming this is a similar problem, but would have thought the installer would have solved that for me (i guess not). I saw a mention of lvmcreate_initrd, but that does not seem to exist in lvm2... is there a replacement for lvm2? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. -- email: anton@piatek.co.uk home: 02380 557 995 mobile: 07900 951 627 work: 01962 816 557 blog/photos: http://www.strangeparty.com pgp: [0xB307BAEF] (http://tastycake.net/~anton/anton.asc) fingerprint: 116A 5F01 1E5F 1ADE 78C6 EDB3 B9B6 E622 B307 BAEF
