The problem is that the step where the files are copied to the ram disk fails for lack of space even though the ram disk has about 7 meg free. If I duplicate the commands from the command line I can create an 8 meg ram disk and fill the full 8 meg. My system is running Mandrake 7.2 and the kernel is the source distributed by Mandrake kernel-2.2.17-21mdk patched with lvm-0.8final-2.2.16TL.patch. As far as I can tell, everything else is working correctly. I can extend my reiserfs filesystems which are on LVs while they are on-line and in use with no identified problems. I just can't build a new initrd for a new kernel compile. I have attached a copy of the lvmcreate_initrd output and that of a df command also. I would appreciate any ideas on how to resolve this. -- Good Journey, longevity and prosperity to all Les Hazelton --------------2AB1F35ABB387FE8DD598F72 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; name="wrk.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="wrk.txt" [root@farpt1 /tmp]# lvmcreate_initrd Logical Volume Manager 0.8 by Heinz Mauelshagen 11/11/1999 lvmcreate_initrd -- this script creates a LVM initial ram disk in /boot/initrd.gz lvmcreate_initrd -- making ram filesystem lvmcreate_initrd -- mounting ram filesystem lvmcreate_initrd -- creating etc/conf.modules lvmcreate_initrd -- creating new modules.dep lvmcreate_initrd -- copying files to ram disk find: /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk-01/block/lvm.o: No such file or directory lvmcreate_initrd -- figuring out shared libraries lvmcreate_initrd -- copying shared libraries to ram disk strip: /tmp/mnt.1514/ram/lib/ld-linux.so.2: No such file or directory strip: /tmp/mnt.1514/ram/lib/libc.so.6: No such file or directory strip: /tmp/mnt.1514/ram/lib/libdl.so.2: No such file or directory strip: /tmp/mnt.1514/ram/lib/libhistory.so.4.1: No such file or directory strip: /tmp/mnt.1514/ram/lib/liblvm.so: No such file or directory strip: /tmp/mnt.1514/ram/lib/libreadline.so.4.1: No such file or directory strip: /tmp/mnt.1514/ram/lib/libtermcap.so.2: No such file or directory lvmcreate_initrd -- creating linuxrc lvmcreate_initrd -- ERROR creating linuxrc [root@farpt1 /tmp]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda6 1.3G 1.2G 20M 98% / /dev/hda1 45M 4.3M 39M 10% /boot /dev/lvg01/home 1.0G 129M 895M 13% /home /dev/lvg01/usr 2.0G 1.3G 753M 63% /usr /dev/lvg01/src 700M 181M 519M 26% /usr/src /dev/lvg01/local 1.0G 517M 507M 51% /usr/local /dev/lvg01/var 300M 121M 179M 40% /var /dev/ram1 7.0M 876k 6.1M 12% /tmp/mnt.1514/ram --------------2AB1F35ABB387FE8DD598F72--
