The best place should be '/etc/rc.d/boot.local' (if / and /usr isn't in LVM)
But not tested with SuSE-Linux.

Best would actually be boot itself, but only if the fsck part would be
devided into

- fsck the root fs
- remount / rw
- run vgscan and vgchange -ay
- fsck the rest (in serial - fsck at this time is too dumb to find out
  which physical disks a LV resides on, and will run all of them in
  parallel :-( )

or wait for SuSE 6.3 :-) 

I've not tried this yet - no time - but seems pretty straightforward.

[linux-lvm] vgscan in /sbin/init.d/boot ?

[Stephan Hendl]

Hi all,

does anybody know where I have to put the lines

vgscan
vgchange -ya

in the boot script? The docs don't tell something about the place. I use SuSE-Linux.

Thanks 
Stephan
