Upstream does not support using lvm2 for the root filesystem because, as you discovered, the tools do not have complete support for it yet. However people tried it and found it worked for them and so distributions started shipping this as an option despite incomplete support for the configuration in the upstream tools. And so far nobody's considered it a high enough priority to get that support completed:-( Alasdair -- agk@redhat.com _______________________________________________ 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/
