Similar story for software raid. This means that if you take the initrd and try to boot a system that doesn't have LVM you're doing something wrong. initrds are not supposed to be portable, however this will of course depend very much on the distribution. Hope this answers your question. ak. _______________________________________________ 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/
