Hi Jord, i can see the same behavior on my LVM-Installation, though i dont dual-boot. i get this strange situation after preparing for disaster-recovery with mondo-rescue .. since then my first PV is always inactive, but i can boot from it and work normally ... did you found something ? .. maybe a lvm-version problem -- on debian i use lvm-common 1.5.9.3 lvm10 1.0.7-8 thanks for reply -c- _______________________________________________ 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/
