Is this a prob= lem that should be fixed, or is this combination of small embed plus raid= and lvm considered unsupportable? >=20 It's unsupportable. The image was small enough mainly because of combination of sloppy coding and avoiding handling some legitimate cases which resulted in bugs. You're welcome to try to decrease the size of this configuration (there are few places where you can squeeze few bytes) but it contradicts few other goal with this config, one of them being speed of boot. --=20 Regards Vladimir '=CF=86-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enigCE090017FEAC971EC4495F05 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iF4EAREKAAYFAk/DUIYACgkQNak7dOguQgm9vAD/TSw/Fdk+2rK0D1vuBvofK/LH R+D8lDvj0KsLT1djDgkA/jSb+Y2F7nFtUZK3hM5ExXwF8Pgh2hKl2xeW/zqcz6jh =7+9E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigCE090017FEAC971EC4495F05--
