[linux-lvm] lvmcreate_initrd missing in lvm2?

[Martin Leslie]

Hi all.

I have just downloaded the lvm2 debian package and I cant find the 
lvmcreate_initrd command.

Has it been replaced with another command or does it live in aonther 
package?

Regards

Martin

It's still under development, but there is current script that works at:

http://poochiereds.net/svn/lvm2create_initrd

Hello,

The mentionned script creates an symlink to busybox from linuxrc.
In this case what is the contents / action of such a script ?

It won't do anything since it creates the symlink under /bin on the
initrd image. A quick look at the busybox sources seems to indicate that
it will behave like a mini-implementation of 'init'. So if you created
an /etc/inittab and make the link a /linuxrc it would prob. behave like
'init'.

Most of what I've read seems to indicate that the /linuxrc thingy is
being deprecated though, and that most things should use '/sbin/init'
instead. That's what this script does. Not sure what the kernel does if
you have a /linuxrc _and_ a /sbin/init though...

I'll go ahead and remove the linuxrc link from my hosted copy of the
script...
