Tren, that shouldn't be a problem because the default installation directory for shared libraries is /lib which belongs to the root directory. LVM tools just access any shread libraries from there unless you use the --libdir configure option to chosse a different one. If you are not able to mount the root filesystem (no matter on which block device including a logical volume it sits) you are in trouble anyway ;-) > > As always I appreciate all help this list gives. > > Regards, > > Tren. -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
