Hi,
I have the following configuration
Redhat 3 box build without LVM.
I want to use LVM on this system, to simplify adding disk space.
What I have done so far to test this is;
Added additional disk to system
Partitioned additional disk as
Swap space
Boot
Remainder is lvm
I have then divided up the lvm space to replicate the initial
partitioning.
I have then partitioned the created logical volumes.
I have then dumped/restored the original partitioning and verified that
the restored data matches the original data.
I have then modified the fstab file to refer to the lvm partitions
rather than labels associated with the original disks
I then rebooted the box, and have a problem.
The machine boots to grub but cannot do a root pivot to the lvm
partition containing the copied root space.
I have tried installing a parallel installation using LVM and comparing
the resulting fstab and grub file. I cannot see any differences.
Is LVM automatically loaded in the ram disk to allow the root pivot to
occur ? Or is it only included in the ram disk if LVM is used when
building the system ?
