I'm told that it builds and "works" for some purposes. I think you have to enable the Linux emulation stuff. I was not using LVM on it, however. Just on Fedora. > but when did > Fedora and Suse leave the Linux kernel? (That's news to me.) Don't know > about "OSS fork of Solaris". Check the wikipedia page for Solaris. Illumos and OpenSolaris are mentioned, althout Indiana and others are not. When I was playing with it, LVM did build on Solaris, IIRC. That was before ZFS or whatever that is.. I don't remember whether I used it there or not. No, Solaris is not Linux. Closer to the BSDs, but getting further away. And I was talking about multi-booting in general, which is what the OP asked about, not about the Linux kernel. >> And I'm pretty sure I've dual-booted MSWindows 7 and Fedora with LVM. > > I don't believe you. I'm pretty sure that WINDOWS can't read LVM. I never asked it to. Set up a vfat formatted partition for sharing. BTW, I could mount and read NTFS from Fedora, even wrote to it once or twice. I have heard somewhere of a project that had succeeded in making LVM visible to MSWindows, but I haven't heard how well they progressed. They may have given up. > Even if it did, I wouldn't want it to muck around in it.

It seems odd to me that you think it obvious. GPT mucks with a lot of underlying assumptions. > -- > MartinS > -- Joel Rees Be careful when you look at conspiracy.
