I've recently setup LVM on a couple of standard Red Hat boxes and in both cases they will not boot once the LVM partition is in /etc/fstab, unless I edit /etc/rc.sysinit. I have found through experimentation that I need to make the following changes in order for the boot to complete. 310c310 < if [ -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /etc/lvmtab ]; then --- > if [ -e /proc/lvm -a -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /etc/lvmtab ]; then 469c469 < if [ -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /etc/lvmtab ]; then --- > if [ -e /proc/lvm -a -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /etc/lvmtab ]; then Why isn't /proc/lvm present at this point or why is Red Hat needing it to be there? When I take that out the boot happens fine and LVM works properly. In both instances I have setup the LVM after the install not during. -- Michael "Murph" Robbert System Administrator for Math/CS Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO 80401-1887 Office: SH220 Office phone: 303-273-3786 Pager: 303-461-6543 or Text messages: murph_pager@bigfoot.com Email: mrobbert@mines.edu -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
