I'm not sure what you mean by making 'compatible' volumes...a partition/disk is either an LVM physical volume, or it isn't. There is no 'compatible' mode. There is no problem to mix regular partitions with LVM partitions on the same disk. Or, put another way, an LVM physical volume can be any Linux block device, which includes whole disks, primary or logical partitions, raid volumes, encrypted loop volumes, dm-crypt volumes, etc. There is no problem putting / on an LVM volume. It is a bit more work, because you have to make sure your initrd script runs the appropriate commands to scan and activate the volumes. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
