Hi, On 1/23/07, Christopher G. Stach II <cgs@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Actually, the reason LVM root filesystems require initrd has nothing to do with installing modules. You can easily compile the drivers in rather than using modules, but it _still_ won't work. This is because LVM requires some user-space commands to be executed to "start" the volume groups. The code to do this, as well as the static build of the lvm user-space control program, need to in the initrd. If you know of any tested way of using LVM root filesystem without initrd, I'd like to hear about it. I sure never have, and every document I've been able to find on the subject, as well as standard practice in every distribution I've seen, seems to confirm it.
