dear all, I am installing a redhat 7.3 linux box with X-Window. I have installed LVM splitting the system with the following scheme: /boot and / are installed each in different non-LVM partitions. LVM volumes: /usr , /var/ , /tmp I have noticed that when I mount the filesystem using the LVM volumes my X-Windows server doesnt work, but when I deactivate the LVM volumes using the original configuration stored in the original / partition (which still have the original /var, /tmp, /usr partitions) then X-Window works perfectly. Then I assume that I havent transferred the filesystem well. I use from / the following command from the LVM howtos: tar cplf - -C var .|tar xvlf - -C /mnt/var and the same thing for the rest of partitions. Any suggestion? Many thanks in advance Miguel _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
