[linux-lvm] lvmcreate_initrd problem

[Adrian Noland]

Hello,
I'm trying to create an initrd and I'm hitting my head against this
error:

lvmcreate_initrd -- ummounting ram disk
umount: /tmp/initrd.2400: not mounted
lvmcreate_initrd -- ERROR umounting /tmp/initrd.2400
                 -- removing /tmp/initrd.2400
                 -- removing /tmp/mnt.2400
rmdir: `/tmp/mnt.2400': Device or resource busy
                 -- removing /tmp/lib.2400
                 -- exit with code 1

How do I find out why /tmp/initrd.$$ isn't mounted? Furthermore, can I
unmount it on my own and complete the script my self? What values would
I use for $DEVRAM and $INITRD?

NB: this isn't a standard install. I'm finishing up a LFS system. This
error only occurs in chroot. Is this a permissions problem or otherwise
related to LFS?

Thanks,
Adrian

The wierd thing is that mount hasn't given an error. I suppose the thing to do
is to stick a "pause" or an "exit" after the mount to see if has actually worked
(if not, then strace it and see why not). If it has worked then figure out why
it get umounted in between or if the variable named gets mangled for any reason.

[linux-lvm] lvmcreate_initrd problem

[Daniel Matters]

Im having trouble create initrd using lvmcreate_initrd when
mounting root lvm, and /boot ext3 and all other lvm
(usr,var,opt,home) from slack 11dvd

Heres the log:

lvmcreate_initrd 2.6.18

lvmcreate_initrd -- make LVM initial ram disk
/boot/initrd-lvm-2.6.18.gz

lvmcreate_initrd -- finding required shared libraries
lvmcreate_initrd -- stripping shared libraries
cp: cannot stat `(0xffffe000)': No such file or directory
lvmcreate_initrd -- ERROR copying shared library (0xffffe000) go
ram disk


Wondering where is the problem, and what means
cp: cannot stat `(0xffffe000)': No such file or directory ?
