I have to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4) on a customer project. This is, as far as I know, the newest stable Red Hat Enterprise Release.
The most important command on this system is "chroot /debian". The redhat system was installed with as many default values as possible (also lvm configuration). Because I want to be able, to also boot debian directly, I used the patch described below. Here is the requested symlink info: ls -l /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Dec 15 00:44 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 -> /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 ls -l /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 0 Dec 15 01:43 /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 If this is a to specific change request, do you see a possiblity to have a config file, with additional LVM naming schemas? > -----Original Message----- > From: maximilian attems [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Freitag, Dezember 15, 2006 00:46 > To: Schumacher, Bernd; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Bug#402931: initramfs-tools does not support > redhat lvm naming schema > > On Wed, 13 Dec 2006, Schumacher, Bernd wrote: > > > Subject: does not support redhat lvm naming schema > > Package: initramfs-tools > > Version: 0.85c > > Severity: wishlist > > Tags: patch > > ok. > > > -- start patch for > /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm -- > > --- lvm.org 2006-12-08 12:32:28.000000000 +0100 > > +++ lvm 2006-12-08 12:43:36.000000000 +0100 > > @@ -35,6 +35,11 @@ > > vgchange -ay > > exit 0 > > ;; > > + # Support redhat naming scheme > > + /dev/VolGroup*) > > + vgchange -ay > > + exit 0 > > + ;; > > esac > > > > # Make sure that we have a d-m path > > -- end patch for /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm -- > > can you add some explation to your patch? > some motivation why this naming was chosen or how is it > guided is that a /dev/VolGroup/Lv symlink? > does latest FC still use that one? > > -- > maks >
