[opensuse-factory] repair system with dev mapper and lvm
My dell precision 390 has a intel raid controller and I never fully understood how this work with linux but it seems that the device mapper and lvm are necessary to use the raid controller. Otherwise the two drives show as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. Normally, they show as a single in /dev/mapper/... However when I boot beta2 and launch repair, I never figured out a way to get the dev/mapper working, the tool only tries to repair and mount the /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. Is there any way to enable device mapper and lvm on the repair? Thanks, Erik. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The short answer is that it is currently not possible. If time permits, the repair support for LVM/RAIDs may be enhanced in some future versions.

Last time that I needed it I just used the rescue cd/dvd/pxeboot and after login started /etc/init.d/boot.lvm Have fun.
