Maurice- I am not an expert, but I have observed that initrd/initramfs/dracut is fairly stupid, and can't handle what would seem like benign changes to the operating evironment. For example, if you install a linux kernel on a system where the / filesystem is on an LVM volume, then you move the / filesystem to a raw partition, change the grub boot commands and /etc/fstab appropriately, initrd/initramfs still fails with an "/bin/lvm exited abnormally with error 5" message. It does not seem to me that there is any reason that initrd/initramfs should care what return code lvm returns as long as it can mount the / filesystem. It also messes about with raids, generally unnecessarily. .. Good luck! Jim
Thanks Jim, I will try some of your suggestions. -- Cheers, Maurice Hilarius eMail: /mhilarius@xxxxxxxxx/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
