I've always recommended not having the root file system on a logical volume. For reasons other than this, but my advice still stands.

Thanks, Phil. _______________________________________________ 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/
