if i have root(/) on a logical volume, is it required that i have /boot on a separate filesystem? does /boot have to be a partition?
the boot loaders i need to support are lilo and grub. do the answers to the above question vary if i use lilo or grub?
both lilo and grub can boot the root filesystem as a logical volume.
but grub cannot boot /boot from a logical volume.
With lilo it can either be a separate lv, a partition, a disk, what you what. With grub it should be outside of the logical volume manager (IIRC, there is a patch for grub to use /boot on a LV but I've never found/tried it)
thanks for the help
Regards
Jean-Luc
