Thanks for that. > The meat of it is doing: > > vgscan --mknodes vgchange -a y > > to create the DM entries and then to make each of the discovered > volumes "available". Are you sure that's needed? I was doing some experimentation with a non-rootfs lvm scan and it seemed to be persistent. > And, regarding an earlier issue...*sigh*...Yes, I know that RAID and > LVM are different subjects.

Perhaps, but most places I've seen seem to separate them. Since either can be done independently or even simultaneously without combining them, I feel having separate pages is the best way to introduce the concepts. > If we're being pedantic, we might change that section to "Filesystems > and Disk Management", since LVM and md RAID aren't filesystems.

That's why I don't want to try to make the sections true tutorials, but more of an introduction in the LFS context. That was my approach for kvm also. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
