No don't be sorry!!! I don't know why people even think of doing that... Can *anyone* give a good reason (and I don't include "because its tidier to have everything LVM") for having root on LVM? Its just begging for trouble; like running windows XP! Oh and yes, mandrake 8.1 supports LVM at install; it'll even detect previous LVM setups and incorporate them into the install if you want! My only worry is that Mandrake 8.1 defaults to devfs and there was a recent message about a problem with devfs and LVM. > > L. > > -- > Luca Berra -- bluca@comedia.it > Communication Media & Services S.r.l. > /"\ > \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN > X AGAINST HTML MAIL > / \ > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html > >
