First things first. Is there a FAQ for this group? Now then, I'm running Fedore Core/1 (Red Hat 9) with LVM 1.0.3-13 (or at least RPM says it's 1.0.3). I have a single volume group containing a single disk. While /boot is NOT in the volume group (for obvious reasons), everything else, include / is. / is a ext3 filesystem. I recently used vgrename to rename the volume group (from rootvol to rootvg -- just a test to learn some more), and it seemed to succeed. I was able to run afterwards with no problems. On the first reboot after this, though, my system can no longer boot. Here's a rough transscription of what's going on: ...kernel booting/initializing... Loading lvm-mod.o module LVM version 1.0.5+(22/07/2002) module loaded Loading jbd.o module Journalled Block Device driver loaded Loading ext3.o module Mounting /proc filesystem Creating block devices Scanning logical volumes vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- found inactive volume group "rootvg" vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a BGDA backup of your volume group Activating logical volumes vgchange -- volume group "rootvg" successfully activated Mounting root filesystem mount: error 2 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrt) failed: 2 umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 Freeing unused kernel memory: 136k freed Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. I'd be happy to provide more info if it would help anyone. (grub.conf, fstab, etc.) Cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ 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/
