I'll start by presenting some info about my system. You'll find the actual problems (numbered) in the middle of this message.
I have my root file system on RAID 1 I use an initrd image to get my system going. The image was simply taken from: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25076 I have added: mount / -n -o remount,rw [[ -z ${CDBOOT} ]] && start_addon evms to /etc/init.d/checkroot and removed anything evms related from /etc/init.d/checkfs There are a few problems when I boot though: 1. the above "mount" command prints this: mount: /dev/evms/system already mounted or / busy mount: according to mtab, rootfs is already mounted on / so the root fs isn't mounted read-only, and thus EVMS isn't protected from other running instances: Engine: Unable to open the ENgine lock file /var/locks/evms-engine: Read-only file system. The Engine is not protected against other instances of the Engine being opened at the same time. 2. It gets worse because I see: "Activating EVMS" at least once after the checkroot script finishes running. I cannot find where this might be coming from. I went as far as commenting out: start_addon dm-crypt from /etc/init.d/localmount, but I still didn't find what is activating EVMS unnecessarily. Any help is appreciated. -- () ASCII Ribbon Campaign /\ - against HTML mail & vCards -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
