[linux-lvm] Root fs on LV on software RAID

[Francis SOUYRI]

Hello Georges,

    Yes it is possible. I have a hardware raid 5 system and two systems 
without raid where all the filesystem are on lv's (also /boot, I used a 
patched lilo). You can find some informations in the LVM mail archive.

Best regards.

Francis
