First of all I have experienced the same "no help hell"
with lvm when
it crashes. (not if, when) I had FC3 installed on my Compaq R3000
Series notebook, default settings, except for package options. Ran
that for about three weeks. I reinstall testing out new distros quite
a lot, so I don't worry about backing up the entire system, and
something happened with the system, the kernel panicked when it
couldn't find a root FS. Same problem as andy.
Basically All I'm trying to say is that yes it fails sometime, no it
is a cool thing to have, but either give us some tools on default
install/rescue disc to combat the issue, or take it out unless the
system detects a RAID array.
Thanks guys,
Chris
Come on, "FC3" got released *three*years* ago, so it's not appropriate to
make an argument out of this for discussing today's maturity of "LVM". Btw,
I have been using "LVM" exclusively for 3 years now [exact, since I first
installed "FC3"], and I have never ever had any trouble with it at all. Maybe
you encountered a hardware problem?
