i have a volume group built on a physical volume that is the disk /dev/hdb. when i write the grub bootloader to that disk, it appears that the bootloader overwrites part or all of the lvm data on that disk, essentially wiping out my volume group. does anyone know if that is normal or if lvm and grub indeed share the same place on the disk? _______________________________________________ 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/
