For the md stuff both problems (booting md root device and shutdown) were solved in one way or another. The last time I checked initrd had been used for booting. I have not tracked how the shutdown problem has been resolved. Some cleanup may be moved into the unmount call. As I used AIX before I am waiting for LVM since a long time. I am glad it is finally here. Now, only JFS must be implemented. Anyone on more details on this (URLs)? tnx for the great work - tom Michael Marxmeier wrote: > Heinz wrote: > > /boot must be in a regular disk partition containing basic commands, > > device specials and LVM driver/commands. > > About 20-30MB should be sufficient to set this up. > > IMO this could even be less if initrd is used. > We may need about 1-2 MB per kernel image + 1-2 MB for the initial > utilities (shell, vgchange, mount). > > Michael > > -- > Michael Marxmeier Marxmeier Software GmbH > E-Mail: mike@msede.com Besenbruckstrasse 9 > Voice : +49 202 2431440 42285 Wuppertal, Germany > Fax : +49 202 2431420 http://www.msede.com/ -- * Thomas Haas * SoftWired AG * Technoparkstr. 1 *** CH-8005 Zurich *** +41-1-4452370
