Hi. I was wondering if booting from an LVM2 volume group is supposed to be supported with lilo (preferred) or GRUB. For example, is it supported to use a '/boot' device, when that is a LVM2 volume residing in an LVM2 volume group ? Last time I checked, having /boot on a LVM2 device using lilo was still considered 'unsupported', or at least considered to be "not a very good idea". If I recall correctly, this had something to do with the fact that "/boot" had to be located on a linear, contiguous volume for bootloaders like lilo and grub to be able to read it. And that with something like LVM, it's on very easy for a volume to be non-contiguous. Is this still the case with the current release of LVM2, or has this been worked-around in current releases ? Sincerely, John Smith. _______________________________________________ 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/
