Will /dev/mapper always be a tmpfs filesystem after this? Actually, I'm thinking another way to handle this might be to do a 'chroot /rootvol /sbin/vgmknodes' prior to the pivot_root instead of the tar copy. There might be some way to handle it without the chroot, but I think this will work. I'll try this method out soon. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
