I am almost done with my firewire LVM installation. I have everything working exept for the lvm script.

I have the firewire devices autodetecting at boot (yay), so the hard part is over.

I followed the Wiki for adding the lvm script at boot by using:

update-rc.d lvm start 26 S . stop 82 1 .

Now, the problem is it does not appear this actually gets called at boot. Webmin shows it is set to load at boot time and everything seems to be configured properly.

If I boot my Myth box and then ssh in and fire off:

/etc/init.d/lvm start && mount /dev/vg/myth /myth

Everything is happy and ready to go. How can I tell (or where should I look) to see if this is really being started?

If I can get past this then I think I have it about set to run with firewire. For those that are wondering, a standard firewire setup runs videos without a hitch. Some people have questioned the speed factor here, but there have been no problems at all with watching a ripped movie or listening to music. I am about to pull the trigger on getting a 4 or 8 bay setup so I can drop a few more disks in since the process (once it runs) is extremely easy to maintain.

Ok, so where do I go from here?

Is /dev/vg/myth in /etc/fstab? If it isn't, it doesn't matter if the script is set to start, /myth won't be mounted. ls /etc/rc3.d (maybe rc5.d)is lvm there?

Here is /etc/fstab:

Code:

# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem  mountpoint  type  options  dump  pass
/dev/hda1  /  ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro  0  1
/dev/hda3  /cache  auto  defaults,auto  0  2
#/dev/hda4  /myth  auto  defaults,auto  0  2
/dev/vg/myth /myth auto  defaults,auto  0  2

proc  /proc  proc  defaults  0  0
/dev/fd0  /floppy  vfat  defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022  0  0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
/dev/dvd /dvd  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
/dev/cdaudio /cdaudio  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda2 none swap defaults 0 0

It's in rc5.d

Code:

So, it's there and fstab works, but I still need to run the above LVM commands or I cannot make the call to /mount

After looking at it (and thanks for jarring my mind on this one cesman), I see that LVM is being called before the scsitools which should happen first.

It needs to fire like this:

scsitools-pre.sh
scsitools
lvm

I'll head over to Google for a bit to see what I can find out about this. I am sure it is some admin 101 stuff, but I know enough Linux to be very dangerous.

Thanks for the push in the right direction
