Yeah, like none of the lvm modules loading. just booted again .. same thing. no lvm modules are loaded.
I'm not a LVM expert but I've been using them with no problem for .... many years. On my system only /boot and SWAP are on regular parttions. /lib is on a LVM LV, so the basic booted system has to have LVM capability to be able to read and load any more modules. So my initrd *has* to have that module. I forget how I used to do it in years gone by, but these days Dracut makes it easy: I jsut tell it to include "lvm". Now when I run 'lsinitrd' it tells me Version: dracut-037-80.1 Arguments: --logfile --force dracut modules: bash warpclock i18n convertfs ifcfg drm plymouth dm kernel-modules lvm resume rootfs-block terminfo udev-rules biosdevname haveged systemd usrmount base fs-lib shutdown suse and later on -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58166 Apr 20 08:11 etc/lvm/lvm.conf and -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10520 Apr 20 08:12 lib64/device-mapper/libdevmapper-event-lvm2mirror.so -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10496 Apr 20 08:12 lib64/device-mapper/libdevmapper-event-lvm2raid.so -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10608 Apr 20 08:12 lib64/device-mapper/libdevmapper-event-lvm2snapshot.so -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 14728 Apr 20 08:12 lib64/device-mapper/libdevmapper-event-lvm2thin.so And I'm sure there's other good stuff in there too. But you don't use the initrd method, do you, Linda. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
