Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux-lvm Errors-To: owner-linux-lvm List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: "linux-lvm@msede.com" Hi all, I want to install my root filesystem on a LVM volume, but I am quite clueless about what to do with the imagefile generated by "lvmcreate_initrd", like how to configure LILO to use it. (I am using Suse 6.3 with LVM 0.8) Also I am not sure how to get the system installed in /dev/vg00/root in the first place? Do I have to first install a running system on a normal partition? I'd appreciate a short roadmap that would outline the way to get a Linux system boot from a LVM root volume for "semi-skilled admins :)". Keyword and references to existing docs are fine, of course. cu Richard -- Richard Heider http://richard.heider.de/ "The software said it requires Win95 or better, so I installed Linux."
