Hi Everybody, I create an LVM volume and mounted it as "/", but I would like to revert it to it's original partition, I tried it from reverting from the LVM gui, but it couldn't do it because "/" is mounted, is there any way to do this, I am thinking safe mode or starting from disk, but I am not sure how to do the reversion, any advice?

I do't know how to solve this, but is a good practice to not mount / in LVM, put / on a ext3 partition and then mount /var, /usr /home /srv or whatever you need on LVM, but don't mount /, it could give you problems with corrupt LVM images -- Un Saludo. Carlos Lorenzo Matés

Nah, all our systems have an LVM "/". Works just fine. Make a 100-250Mb /boot and LVM absolutely everything else. I've had filesystems go fritz but I've never had LVM bomb out, and LVM is your friend for recovering or changing systems.

And a corrupt /usr, /var, and /srv is fine? --- Adam Tauno Williams Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You can boot on level 1 and try to fix the lvm. -- Un Saludo. Carlos Lorenzo Matés
