Hi there,
What's the point of building one's own system if not tuning it ?
Isn't it the LFS philosophy ? i guess it is ;-)
So here is my point:
I've been using LFS for quite a time now (i think my first install was
in august 2002, and from that time, continuously followed this brilliant
projet, with much excitement!
I recently downloaded 6.1 and noticed you still use "good ol' ext2 fixed
size-d" file systems.
As a LVM fan (i discovered AIX a few time ago, and realized how great it
is), i created LVM partitions (reiserfs formated LVs).
As i didn't trust grub's ability to boot from LVM, i kept a
"traditional" reiserfs /boot where i copied linux kernel.
Now, next step is mounting the root_fs !!!
I can't really decide of a way to do so:
1) statically build (using glibc) lvm-tools and use a traditional initrd
(efficient but old style)
2) statically build (using glibc) lvm-tools and try the "initramfs
feature that i don't really master ! (better style)
3) statically build (using uClicb or klibc) lvm-tools and try initramfs
(actually the most elegant style, but requires help from gurus ;-).
Has anyone here tried method 3 ?
If so, thanks for letting me know.
Cheers!
