Product: drakconf
Component: drakconf
Summary: Automatic entries added to /etc/fstab for LVM partitions
Product: drakconf
Version: 9.1-9mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: drakconf
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have just just freed up space on one of my drives (/dev/hdb) and added it to my LVM
volume group using the Mandrake Control Centre. What I did was:
a. Delete the old partitions on the disk.
b. Create a new LVM partition (/dev/hdb1)
c. Add the LVM partition to my volume group.
To my surprise I discovered that an entry had been made in /etc/fstab for the new
partition
(/dev/hdb1). The entry can be deleted but is automatically regenerated on boot. A
check with
fdisk confirms that the partition type for /dev/hdb1 is set to 8E (i.e. an LVM
partition).
I've done a little bit of digging around, and discovered that Mandrake attempts to
discover
new partitions and create the appropriate /etc/fstab entries and mount points for
them.
However there appears to be a flaw in this process since it should ignore LVM and MD
partition types (which it is not at the moment). I think this check should be added to
/etc/dynamic/scripts/part.script.
