That is why the lvm howto tells you you must have /boot on a > separate (dos) partition (eg hda1). IMHO this only applies to stock lilo as found in most current and all older distros. I have a recent and patched version of lilo that does recognize LVM. My vgroot (with /, /var /tmp, /boot, etc.) is in LVM. It's all reiserfs. It's running over software raid (mirroring of course). Works like a charm. As a special measure, though I don't know if I still need that (anybody?), I take care of having /boot and / in low numbered PEs. Works like a charm so far... many thanks to you guys out there. <OT>I also have autofs, nisplus (client). The result is a box with an easy to administer enterprise grade OS. Just love it.</OT> (snip...) > -- > Met vriendelijke groeten, > > Remco Post > > SARA - Stichting Academisch Rekencentrum Amsterdam > High Performance Computing Tel. +31 20 592 8008 Fax. +31 20 668 3167 > > "I really didn't foresee the Internet.
