My problem is LV not being activated on booting so all devices such |
| 17 |
/dev/vg/usr, home, opt, etc. can't not been mounted. At time of |
| 18 |
installation ; |
| 19 |
# vgchange -a y |
| 20 |
must be run to activate LV. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I'm now looking around where ("/rc.d/" ?) I have to add this command. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I tried creating /tmp/newroot, /tmp/newroot/mnt, etc.in anticipating |
| 25 |
mounting LV. But found it did not work. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Actually Gentoo started but the above devices unable to mount making |
| 28 |
some files can't be found. Other problem are of minor matters. |

In the past I have been playing around on FC5 and Ubuntu 6.06 |
| 31 |
partitioning HD with LVM on command lines but never work. I was |
| 32 |
compelled using GUI to get it done. Then it worked without problem. I |
| 33 |
don't know its reason. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Sorry if this sounds harsh but if it works from the GUI but not from the |
| 36 |
commandline then the problem exists between keyboard and chair: you're not |
| 37 |
typing in the commands properly. Computers are stupid. They need to be told |
| 38 |
EXACTLY what to do; spelling mistakes just don't cut it. FWIW the other day |
| 39 |
I need to do some "resurrection" work involving LVM and it would have taken |
| 40 |
a quarter of the time if I'd just been more careful ;-) |
