Changes by: Anonymous user Date: 2002-Oct-02 04:24 ------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ---------------------------- I have done the (trivial) changes required to make this patch apply cleanly to version 0.92. I have only tested it with reiserfs, but that works perfectly. Thanks for creating the original patch. =================== BUG #977: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== Submitted by: None Project: GNU GRUB Submitted on: 2002-Aug-11 14:04 Category: Disk & Partition Severity: Major Priority: None Bug Group: Feature Request Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Release: 0.92 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: Summary: [PATCH] full Linux-LVM support Original Submission: Attached is a diff against grub (sorry, not latest release, I hope this is not a serious problem) which adds full Linux-LVM support to grub. It even supports loading of stage2 from stage1.5 (+4k) and any combination of Volume Groups and Logical Volumes. Snapshot volumes are untested, but should work. LVs are accessed like this: "root <system:boot>", i.e. <vgname:lvname> - the corresponding block devices are sorted out by the LVM code. Autocompletion works, it is documented in grub.texi, selectable via configure, the ChangeLog was updated - I tried to make it as complete as possible. One point remains: I copied linalloc_* from gunzip.c and adjusted the memory address, it seems to work but please someone else look at it to make sure it is correct. (If my estimations are correct, it won't conflict with gunzip.c, but I don't know what lies below that memory area. 256GB total LV space uses ~512k memory currently) Follow-up Comments ******************* ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-Oct-02 04:24 By: None I have done the (trivial) changes required to make this patch apply cleanly to version 0.92.

This should enable booting from an mirrored md device holding an lvm root partition (Raid 1). Question: Did anyone check wether this is possible from an RAID 5 arranged software raid?
