slackware12 and lvm-root
 
Im testing lvm with slack12. Thing is now in this version installer recognize lvm, once its created and installs it, but still no joy when it comes to boot after installation,

i tried to do mount -o loop /boot/initrd /mnt/initrd but i get error, when booting from dvd.

mount: No such file or directory.

and it still dosent want to check for lvm and activate them on boot, how to fix this, any suggestion?

Thanks!

you can't mount the initrd (anymore) and those files probably don't even exist.


would it really have been that hard, to find and read the documentation?
http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwar...README_LVM.TXT


EDIT: see this as well
EDIT2: you don't need to ; only for encrypted partitions

Why is not possible to mount initrd no more ?


Yes, it works like a charm, magical option is -L in mkinitrd what i needed, rest i already new without reading manual.

Thanks for help!
