Hi Dan, I agree with your comments. My reply was really just for the OP who managed to completely hose his fedora system by (I guess) bind mounting /dev and an LFS partition under, or around, fedora's LVM. I kind of see the benefits of LVM, but don't really get why it is so popular. If you span multiple discs with a volume group you basically double the risk of catastrophic failure with each disk added - just like raid 0 :-) Alan -- The way out is open! http://www.theopensourcerer.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
