You really want to use XFS for an initrd?? <fx tests:> # dd if=/dev/zero of=disk bs=1024 count=8192 # mkfs.xfs disk # mount -oloop disk /mnt # df /mnt Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /root/disk 3392 32 3360 1% /mnt OK you could tune that up a bit but I think ext2 is more approriate for an initrd and the ext2 utils don't take up /that/ much space: probably much less than your XFS journals in fact :-) patrick _______________________________________________ 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
