I'm sure I'm not the only one that keeps LVM backup files in locations other than /etc/lvm/archive. What if you lose /etc and are booted from rescue? Can RedHat please restore the lost functionality? This was very useful under LVM1. thx, Gerry _______________________________________________ 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/
