Well, yeah, I eventually managed to put my root partition on LVM. My old, now retired IBM laptop had this setup. However, after experiencing some problems with a few other machines that I tried to do this on, I decided not to do this in the future. At any rate, I was able to do this after I stumbled across this document: http://www.the-infinite.org/archive/docs/lvm/howto-boot-off-root-lv.txt Just following these instructions was sufficient. It only works for LVM version 1; dunno if there are analogous instructions for lvm2. -- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
