Ok, that's what I found out with that changing root device number. But what
makes 58,0 device 58,0 ? What I mean is: my old LV root was the first LV I
made. I didn't have 2 disks, now I do, and I wanted everything striped. I
removed the 1st LV, created a new (striped) one, and copied all the data
from old root to new root. I removed old root, and renamed templv to root,
thus giving it a device number. Then rebooted, to use the new root, and
created a LV.
That caused a shift in device numbers, and I wonder why. It makes me think
that the first LE on a disk that is used to create an LV, makes than device
58,0. Right ?
