Is it true, note that I haven't tried it, that if you try to use LVM for everything, you still need a /boot volume, just a few cylinders, for IPL purposes? I'm thinking that LVM is a software raid, so you have to have the software running before you can use it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
