But it was a full FC6 install on a separate drive, so I was coming from an FC2 install that did not use the LVM. When doing it the first time for a new kernel from kernel.org, there were several items related to LVM that I had to turn on in a make xconfig run or 3 before I got it right, but it can be done. The thing that really burns me is exactly how damned slow gcc-4.1.1-30 is on FC6 compared to the version on a fully updated FC2. Whereas my ./makeit script ran to completion on FC2 useing gcc-3.4.4 in about 11 minutes, its now, with gcc 4.1.1-30, taking around 33 minutes to build a kernel that's maybe 100k bigger (I don't have the old /boot partition mounted at the moment so that's only a SWAG) because of the LVM stuff. How much the LVM has to do with that, I have no comparison data, but I suspect its very little. However if I had it to do over again, I'm not sure I would enable the LVM stuff. It is I believe, partially to blame for a rash of tar not staying on filesystem problems we've heard reports of lately on the amanda list. Again, I have no proof, just a gut feeling about it, but I have not been personally bitten. That thumping sound in the background is of course me, knocking my head on wood... -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
