all.... I rebuilt my kernel to support LVM......and made the changes to bzImage, etc. I've re-booted, and not sure how I get LVM to start, I'd like to use Webmin for the configuration... I did check to make sure there is a global file in /proc/lvm and it says LVM driver LVM version 1.0.3 (19/02/2002) Total: 0 VGs 0PVs 0LVs (0LVs open) Global: 143 bytes malloced IOP version: 10 0:35:59 active I've checked some of the LVM posts and not able to find instructions for Gentoo. thanks jr _______________________________________________ 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/
