...that's it: /dev/sda1, ext2, /boot /dev/vg/root, ext3, / /dev/vg/swap, swap /dev/vg/home, ext3, /home /dev/vg/usr, ext3, /usr /dev/vg/var, ext3, /var
where vg lvm sits on top of a cryptsetup-luks the initramfs built from the d-icontains both scripts/crypt... and scripts/lvm (i don't recall perfectly filenames) tho booting process falls in initramfs busybox shell after opening the luks device i don't want to insert any time i boot my (laptop) machine the vgscan --mknodes && vgchange -ay, at minimum... and wait... 9 seconds... unitl then mount root!!! uuh, the fastest bootup in the world! i'm trying to build a custom made initramfs in gentoo with a simple init cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 cdisk vgscan --mknodes vgchange --available y but I WANT BACK MY DEBIAN! please, help me: can i try to make an initramfs cpio arch in debian either? i'll need a custom kernel with all compiled-in except modules not need in the boot process?
