You can not put /boot/ on top of LVM or RAID, except RAID 1 but you have to= be=20 careful if you need to boot from the second (or later) drive. There are patches out there for GRUB to allow it to read LVM and they make = it=20 possible to boot when the /boot/ files are on LVM. Last I heard, they were= =20 still officially "experimental" but apparently pretty much working. I thin= k=20 I read somewhere that the plan was to support LVM with GRUB2 when it=20 releases, but don't quote me on that, I can't seem to find the reference at= =20 the moment. > I do "modprobe dm-mod" and when I do "vgchange -ay" I get the message: > File descriptor 3 left open > File descriptor 5 left open > File descriptor 7 left open > No volume groups found > I have no LVM devices in /dev. > The alternative is to reinstall the OS, but.... > > Thank you. > > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ =2D-=20 Lamont R.
