Networking sometimes requires very complicated configurations which could be quite hard to load from the rescue mode (imagine using ndiswrapper for example). May be we could provide a patched package which will replace mkinitrd, perhaps in centos-plus repo? > 3. Some additional discussion on how to handle multiple partitions > should be added. There is an implicit assumption that only "/" is used. Ideally we should also provide a guide for the LVM case. I had an email discussion with William Schwartz, who was making partitionable RAID1 with LVM setup and managed to do that. The changes are: 1. Additional steps were required to start LVM manually after starting raid with mdadm: vgscan vgchange -ay VolGroup00 # I think name could be omitted - Lev. 2. grub boot options are certainly unchanged in LVM case. 3. pvscan and Co. will detect false volumes or complain, so something like this needs to be added to /etc/lvm/lvm.conf: filter = ["a/md*", "r/.*/"] William wrote that he did not do this last step and things work fine for him. -- Lev.
