From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux; X11; en_US) KHTML/3.3.2 (like Gecko) Description of problem: On my laptop and desktop when there is just one disk and no logical volumes, the initscripts still starts the dm-mod module. if I do: # fgrep "device-mapper" /proc/device fgrep: /proc/device: No such file or directory OK. I think the "!" in front of it should be removed. I do not understand the fgrep man page: "Exit immediately with zero status if any match is found, even if an error was detected." If the error is that the device is not found, then it will exit with 0? confusing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.02-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.update to 8.02-1 2.restart system 3.dm_mod is installed Additional info:
It's intentional, it's loaded if it's not already loaded; it needs to be loaded for LVM to work (even just for checking to see if any LVM volumes are there.)
