I promised you (plural) an easy initramfs solution a few months back. I have an initramfs image of 1.6MiB that supports LVM and mounts /usr, /var and any other LVM volume or partition you wish. I have been able to boot with it since about January (hardware issues on my development box permitting). I will release a Python script to build it from a single command in the next 10 days or 2 weeks. The real chore will be writing the documentation (as with most software development efforts). For me, the best part is its diminutive size, as my /boot partitions are only 32MiB each. The fact that it works every time should make you feel secure against whatever the udev developers can throw at us. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* dwn...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
