Thanks Bill, |
| 48 |
That's very helpful. To test my understanding |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
/dev/hda1 - boot - 100M |
| 51 |
/dev/hda2 - swap - 2G |
| 52 |
/dev/hda3 - NOT CLEAR - the backup/rescue install? |
| 53 |
/dev/hda4 - LVM - 200G |
| 54 |
/dev/hda5 - root - 4G |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
So you've placed pretty much the bulk of the machine in LVM and it's |
| 57 |
working well for you. That's cool. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Could you possibly share a bit from your grub.conf file as well as |
| 60 |
your fstab file? I think with that info I'd be pretty confident when I |
| 61 |
do the build tomorrow morning. |
| 62 |

Thanks, |
