A LVM filesystem I can't create. >> Don't put / (root) on a logical Volume when using debian ! The kernels from debian package manager apt use the cramfs file system for initrd. When this is mounted during boot LVM can't write lvmtab on /etc because The cramfs is a read-only filesystem. Only when you rebuild the kernel, and don't use the kernels in the package manager you can make sure the initrd supports ext2 during boot. >> Sorry about my, I am sure, stupid questions and my bad english. >> >> Thanks and regards >> >> Stefan Good luck Jan ---- With regards Jan H. van Gils Internet web-page http://www.Knoware.NL/users/janvg/ Internet e-mail address JanVG@Knoware.NL RIPE Whois JHG5-RIPE, 6BONE Whois JHG1-6BONE _______________________________________________ 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/
