Description Pieter De Wit 2003-06-05 23:33:12 UTC

Hey Guys,

Is there some LVM startup scripts somewhere, that we can put in rc-update add ?
It is a pain starting it everytime....

Thanks,

Pieter

From Gentoo LVM Guide <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm.xml>
" Code listing .10

/sbin/vgscan

This will generate the /etc/lvmtab that the checkfs script uses to check if it should start LVM. Restart your machine and now all partitions should be visible and mounted."

Hey Guys,

I still have to run:

vgscan
vgchange -a y

after boot up. LVM is built into my kernel. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Pieter

Hi

You can use lvmcreate_initrd

# lvmcreate_initrd [kernel version]

for example
# lvmcreate_initrd 2.4.20-xfs-r4
# nano -w grub.conf

title Gentoo Linux(2.4.20-xfs-r4)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-xfs-r4 root=/dev/vg00/root
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-lvm-2.4.20-xfs-r4.gz
