Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.39-7 Severity: normal I believe that a lot can be done to extend the usefulness of the local-top/lvm2 script. Currently the script supports a number of formats for root and swap filesystem names, but it's vary limited.
fe[0-9]* /dev/root /dev/mapper/#\(.*\)\([^-]\)-[^-].*# This leaves UUID file systems and a whole lot more. I suggest that a handful of kernel command line parameters are added. There is specifying the vg of the root and swap partitions and perhaps it should just allow the mounting of any number of lvms, including "". Would there be any objection to carrying out this task and attaching the new script to this bug? There is also the version of lvm to use, I feel the user should be able to force this with a nolvm2 and/or a uselvm1. P.S. The script provided by this package and the one provided by initramfs-tools(lvm) are vary similar, perhaps a join and removing lvm2 from this package and having the initramfs-tools pkg have one script that covers both. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lvm2 depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.27-4 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libreadline5 5.2-3.1 GNU readline and history libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages lvm2 recommends: ii dmsetup 2:1.02.27-4 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use lvm2 suggests no packages. -- debconf information: lvm2/snapshots: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
