In case it helps, here's the relevant part of my fstab: /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noatime,noauto 1 2 /dev/md3 / ext4 noatime 1 1 /dev/vg1/home /home ext4 noatime 1 2 /dev/vg1/common /home/prh/common ext4 noatime 1 3 /dev/vg1/boinc /home/prh/boinc ext4 noatime 1 3 /dev/vg1/virt /home/prh/.VirtualBox ext4 noatime 1 3 /dev/vg1/portage /usr/portage ext4 noatime 1 2 /dev/vg1/packages /usr/portage/packages ext4 noatime 1 3 /dev/vg1/distfiles /usr/portage/distfiles ext4 noatime 1 3 /dev/vg1/local /usr/local ext4 noatime 1 2 /dev/vg1/opt /opt ext4 noatime 1 2 /dev/vg1/srv /srv ext4 noatime 1 2 /dev/vg1/chroot /mnt/atom ext4 noatime 1 2 The common partition is where I keep my user stuff that is common among distros. Boinc is where boinc runs, and virt is where VirtualBox runs. I don't know why I still have a srv there, as Gentoo doesn't use it (maybe I should reallocate it to /var or /var/tmp). Chroot is where I mount my Atom box's portage directory so that I can use the workstation to build packages for binary installation on the Atom box - saves oodles of time and heat. I have a /dev/vg2 as well, for experimental installation of other distros; those that can be installed into virtual partitions, that is. The following commands would re-create those partitions and file systems, having created the physical volume and the volume group vg1: lvcreate -L 10G -n opt vg1 lvcreate -L 12G -n distfiles vg1 lvcreate -L 12G -n srv vg1 lvcreate -L 15G -n home vg1 lvcreate -L 15G -n virt vg1 lvcreate -L 20G -n boinc vg1 lvcreate -L 20G -n chroot vg1 lvcreate -L 20G -n packages vg1 lvcreate -L 2G -n local vg1 lvcreate -L 50G -n common vg1 lvcreate -L 8G -n portage vg1 mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/boinc mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/chroot mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/common mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/distfiles mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/home mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/local mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/opt mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/packages mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/portage mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/srv mkfs.ext4 -j -O dir_index /dev/vg1/virt That list was created by David Noon's zsh script, which he posted here recently. In fact I have file-systm labels written by mkfs.ext4 as well, but David's script doesn't notice those. Sda and sdb are 1TB SATA Samsung devices. HTH. -- Rgds Peter Linux Counter 5290, 1994-04-23
