Well, for me its not a false alarm, sort of. Mine fails to start and then works later on or after I restart lvm, sort of iffy here. This is what mine looks like: Setting up the Logical Volume Manager . . . File-based locking initialisation failed *Failed to setup the LVM [!!] * Error: lvm failed to start After all that, it's downhill sort of. Me, I get that with or without a init thingy. I'm on Gentoo kernel 3.2.11. I'm using lvm2-2.02.95-r1. >From what I found, it does this because / is mounted ro. It can't write the locking file. I thought those were in /var but . . . Also, If I restart lvm after it boots, it starts fine and all the lvm stuff shows up. Maybe this one isn't just me. o_O Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
