Ironic's Guide to Arch and LVM

Featured Replies

Ironic,

 

I hope you can help a brother out.  Essentially I am trying to use your guide to eliminate my need for a separate boot partition and as a result I am stuck.  Before scraping the idea, I thought I would at least ask, otherwise I had something that was working and I will go back to it.

 

I had my dom0 blow up after a update and after hours of messing, I thought it easier to just start over.  I kept my vm data, but the host was to be re-built.

 

I looked at your guide here: http://blog.ktz.me/?p=387

 

but the issue is when it comes time for grub as it does not like lvm's so it throws crazy errors and when it comes time to boot throws you into grub recovery.  It did me anyway.  Just curious if you did something special to make this work since the way it is written, failed me.

 

Second, your edit of lvm.conf

nano /etc/lvm/lvm.conf

Ctrl + W search: lvmetad =

use_lvmetad = 0  <---- change this from 1 to 0

Ctrl + X to save: y / don't change filename

 

does not seem to support things if you do in fact use a separate /boot partition outside of LVM.  At least for me, the disk is not found and things simply fail.

 

I know a lot of those guides are your own brain dumps, but at the same time, I wanted to point these things out to hopefully make them good for anyone that uses them.

 

If the above makes no sense to you or you do not know why it is happening, simply disregard and I will return to enabling lvmetad and using /boot outside LVM.

 

Thanks
