Keep in mind RH goes out of their way to ensure things don't break. After all your paying for that with RHEL :) Breakage occurs in the FOSS world all the time. While I haven't run into said problems with mounting lvm volumes, its not a chance I want to take either. Then again a simple tweak of a config file could cause your lvm partitions to go undetected just the same ;) Like the filter directive, snippet from /etc/lvm/lvm.conf "A filter that tells LVM2 to only use a restricted set of devices." A couple examples that would not see other drives or lvm volumes on them sata/scsi filter = [ "a|/dev/sd[abcd]|", "r/.*/" ] HP raid arrays filter = [ "a|/dev/cciss/c0d0p|", "r/.*/" ] -- William L.
