I personally recommend _not_ putting your root file system in an LV.
However, since you want to do that, _exactly_ how is it failing?

Subject: Errors when trying to put root on LVM during SLES10 install

Hi List,
I've been getting errors when trying to put root on a LVM during the
SLES10 install.
I took a mod-9 and carved out 3 minidisks.
100 for /boot
102 for /
103 for swap

I then activated all 3 devices, formatted them, created /boot, swap, and
volume group vgsystem.  Under vgsystem, I then created 4 logical volumes
, lvvar, lvusr, lvroot and lvtmp and assigned them to /var , /usr, /,
and /tmp.

However, when I tried to continue, the install would fail.

A quick google , showed a hit , in which the solution was to run "fdasd
-a " .  I opened another SSH session, and tried the "fdasd -a" command,
but that failed also.

Has anyone been successful with putting root on an LVM and is willing to
share their steps and procedures they went through to get there.

TIA
Bernie Wu
