OK, now I have another problem. I got vgscan to run fine now off of my boot CD, but now the system fails the vgscan on boot (/ is an LVM) with an 'ERROR 28 writing volume group backup file /etc/...' I'm assuming this is because the initrd created by lvmcreate_initrd is not big enough to accomodate the metadata backup. What size is this generally (lvmcreate_initrd says it calculates this automatically) and to what size should I set this manually to get this to work? How much space do I need for the backups during vgscan? Thanks. Kelly Corbin wrote: > Doh! I didn't get what you were saying in your first reply. I'm sure > that's it.
