[linux-lvm] upgrade RH with lvm

[linux-lvm] upgrade RH with lvm

[Christophe Zwecker]

hi,


RH7.2 doesnt seem to be able to read lvm partitions when upgrading from
7.1, neither does the SGI iso (guess they didnt look into that).

I wonder if any of you got the same problem if he solved it and how ?

thx for any hints,

Best regards,

Christophe

You don't need to boot the installer to upgrade some RPM's. Use rpm
directly on the running system (after going single user with telinit 1, if
you
like).

yeah , I was gonna test that, but i was afraid to mess up something
sofar, I gues rpm -F  should do the trick...

Youve upgraded that way before ?

This is why I would go single user.

Yep, did it once when the installer kept crashing on me, worked fine.
There is nearly no need to reboot a Linux system to upgrade software
(except for the kernel).
