This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. Something I've been personally interested in. qa_ack+ With dracut-004-23.el6.noarch there is no error on boot and the system comes up fine. So I'll move this to VERIFIED. Some notes though: (In reply to comment #0) > To summarize, to get LVM snapshot root volume working: > 1. I applied the patch noted in comment#0 > 2. I rebuild the initramfs > 3. Create a snapshot volume: lvcreate -s -n lv_snap -L9G > /dev/vg_test1055/lv_root > 4. Update grub.conf and set root=/dev/vg_test1055/lv_snap > 5. Update fstab to use /dev/vg_test1055/lv_snap I believe you have to update the fstab which is on the lv_snap not on lv_root. I'll open another bug to track this (needs proper documentation at least). Bug #611445 filed to track default behavior and (possibly documentation). Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
