Subject: [linux-lvm] lvm on root filesystem with devfs
Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 18:08:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B0EE5FA.1923148@americasm01.nt.com> (raw)
I made a custom initrd to bring up lvm on my root filesystem. When not
running a kernel with devfs, I simply cpio the /dev entries from the ram
filesystem into the lvm root filesystem before doing pivot_root. This
is so the remaining lvm filesystems can be mounted. Everything works
fine in this case.
When I run with devfs, though, the /dev entries don't ever show up in
/dev when I do a vgscan. The result is that I am not able to mount the
lvm root filesystem.
* Does the fact that I have lvm compiled as a module have anything to
do with this?
* Assuming the entries are created, then I shouldn't have to use cpio
anymore (with devfs). Right?
