Hi!
I have a problem because I don't know what to do when / is on lvm.
Currently /sbin/init.d/halt does the following (/ is not on lvm):
[..]
echo "Unmounting file systems"
umount -avt noproc,nonfs
[..]
umount -anvt proc
if test -d /etc/lvmtab.d -a -x /sbin/vgchange ; then
/sbin/vgchange -a n
fi
[..]
mount -no remount,ro / 2> /dev/null
sync
[..]
halt -d -f
Now what if / is on lvm? Should I really call "/sbin/vgchange -a n" ?
What are with the commands afterwards will they fail or might
the lvm device get mixed up because of not correctly closing it?
Or should I load a ramdisk to do the work, if at all possible?
I think the md-Device does a clean shutdown by itself, because
I use md to create a raid1 with lvm on top?
PS: You might gess that I'm using SuSE Linux, 7.0 to precise.
The kernel ist 2.4.0-test10.
