Hi All I use gentoo, lvm2, raid (lvm on top of raid-1). My problem is that the kernel doesn't automatically detect my /dev/md[2-8] as the partitions are set to 8e (LVM2) instead of 0xFD ... the solution I have at the moment is to append md=2,/dev/sdXY,/dev/sdAB and so forth to my grub.conf. Is it safe to change the partition types from 8e to 0xFD? will I break my lvm? Many thanks Christian. _______________________________________________ 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/
