[linux-lvm] /etc ro mounten

[Ulrich Wiederhold]

Hello,
at debian-user-de runs a thread at the moment to mount /etc ro and a
consens is that in /etc only static files should be stored.

lvm need´s to write /etc at bootup and for backup-copies. I would prefer
to stor the files that need to be writeable in /var. 

What do you think about a change for the next release? (or is there
already a compile-function?).

This would solve the problems with / ro at startup, isn´t it?

Uli

Ulrich,

it is already compile time definable by changing LVMTAB, LVMTAB_DIR
and VG_BACKUP_DIR in liblvm.h.

Will probably be a config file option in LVM 2.
