Because LVM is necessary to allow those file systems to be larger than a single physical volume, and those filesystems are not usually critical during early stages of the boot process where things are still a little fragile. LVM != RAID, although they share some common ideas and techniques. For most systems, / and /boot are never that large (so fsck time is negligible), and *are* critical during boot -- general KISS principle applies in known critical situations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
