Yep. I notice my LVM starts twice. It fails the first time because it |
24 |
can't find files in /var then tries again later on after everything is |
25 |
mounted, except the LVM stuff of course. So, this is most likely coming |
26 |
and is one reason I am considering different options. |

This is also another reason I want to get some sort of init thingy |
29 |
working. I already have /var on its own regular partition but also want |
30 |
/usr and /var on LVM. Right now, that could cause a problem since LVM |
31 |
looks to have issues coming up without /var being mounted. |

|
33 |
Luckily for me, I only have a data partition that contains video files |
34 |
on LVM. It has nothing to do with the OS itself. |
35 |
|
36 |
That is one reason this is causing me concerns. It's not just what is |
37 |
already getting screwed up but also what is about to get screwed up that |
38 |
makes it even worse. |
