I use it on my desktop to make both 2 partitions on my main disk and the whole of my second disk (no partition table!) act like a single physical disk. I use it on my laptop to have 5 "virtual partitions" on a single physical partition so I can resize them without having the kernel reread the partion table (and more flexibly manipulate them). I recommend every new system use LVM under all filesystems 'cept for /.

Re: [gentoo-user] System is too big
LVM the gentoo way works fine: I highly recommend for any system needing multiple partitions http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm2.xml After a disk failure (one of a two disk raid zero stripe), I added the new disk as LVM2, copied the files that I could salvage over and then did an emerge -e world to fix what was damaged/missing. The last step was to reclaim each of the partitions on the remaining good disk and add them to the LVM (actually I just fdisked it all into one big partition except swap. My file system sizes (reiserfs) have now changed a couple of times, the LVM now runs across both disks (200G and 60G). It took just 5 mins (mostly re-reading the docs) to add 12G to my /tmp when I ran out of space during a file conversion project - it was just so nice!

Re: [gentoo-user] System is too big
Maybe all that complicated junk is if you want to put root on an LVM. I've only done one LVM2 so far on FC2/3 and it worked fine but I left /boot and /root off the LVM - it wasn't part of it. I' have a system that I'm going to install Gentoo on and use LVM2 and udev so Holly's experience is encouraging. On Tue, 22 Feb 2005, Eric S.

[gentoo-user] System is too big
Hi there, I'm getting the following when trying to do a genkernel --udev --gensplash=gentoo all: Root device is (3, 4) Boot sector 512 bytes. Setup is 4896 bytes. System is 7985 kB System is too big. Try using modules. make[1]: *** [arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage] Error 1 make: *** [bzImage] Error 2 This is on AMD64, trying to install the kernel after an stage3 installation (I'm still installing the machine). I have tried to put everything as a module with no success. Has anybody else experienced the same? Best regards Jose -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
