If your raid is started by some startup-script you have to put the lvm-stuff after that. I think it is quite reasonable to initialize LVM quite early, after the initial mount of the / filesystem. That way you can mount the filesystems the usal way at startup - using /etc/fstab. If one of your PV's is a MD, autodetect support is mandatory. greetings, Nils -- > Nils Juergens | nils@muon.de | icq 7090774 < > If we all work hard, we can turn this company < > around 360 degrees -- gruntbert(LOTD) <
