All I want to know is what other modules/libraries other than the device-mapper kernel module, lvm2 and the devmapper library do I need in order to have my logical volumes detected. here's my setup: one 160GB sata2 hdd; one 320GB sata2 hdd; a minimal version of ubuntu (installed from debootstrap) and a custom compiled kernel version 2.6.26 (I should mention that the kernel doesn't contain all of the modules - I wanted it to provide only the features I need). I have created a physical volume, volume group and logical volume from another ubuntu installation. It is detected while using the live cd, and also if I boot the minimal ubuntu with another kernel that has a full set of features. regards, Eduard
