Bug 31990

Summary: The LVM directions are missing two steps that are crucial to understanding the document
Product: [OLD] Docs-user Reporter: Mitchell <mns6070>
Component: LVM HOWTOAssignee: Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) <swift>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED    
Severity: normal CC: docs-team
Priority: High    
Version: unspecified   
Hardware: All   
OS: Linux   
Whiteboard:
Package list:
Runtime testing required: ---
Attachments: Add "vgscan -ay" command

Description Mitchell 2003-10-25 13:18:51 UTC
Step 4 should suggest a size of 150MB for / (root).

Before Step 6, vgscan needs to be run otherwise none of the lvm steps will work.

If swap is going to be part of the lvm in Step 9, then Step 8 should mention 
that it needs to be created and Code Listing .4 should mention it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-02 13:39:04 UTC
Correct. This is already in the handbook draft, but should be added to lvm.xml
as well. I'll take care of that.
Comment 2 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-03 07:17:27 UTC
Created attachment 20177 [details, diff]
Add "vgscan -ay" command

This should suffice... If a docdev can review?

Comment 4 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-07 01:03:44 UTC
