Unfortunately, I don't think so... it may be only supported in the same way reiserfs is : If it already exists, it could work (then again, I haven't tested (*)), but you can't do it initially, too bad. * The default Red Hat kernels have LVM available as module and the rc.sysinit scripts activate the LVM partitions only if they find the /proc entry, which of course doesn't exist until the module is loaded... I don't suppose an alias "char-major-xxx lvm-xxx" whould get it working since the activation is needed before trying to access the block device, anyway I always recompile a kernel with LVM builtin, that way it works. For userland tools, I've packaged some that work fine for me but haven't been heavily tested... except by me :-) ftp://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/testing/lvm/ Matthias -- Matthias Saou World Trade Center ------------- Edificio Norte 4 Planta System and Network Engineer 08039 Barcelona, Spain Electronic Group Interactive Phone : +34 936 00 23 23 _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
