Re: rebuild 240v from scratch



I've been building servers for the past month by mirroring a drive,
breaking the mirror and then booting off the cloned disk. Every time
there was a boot panic, I had had either removed the rootdev line from
/etc/system and had changed the vfstab... or vice versa, changed
vfstab, but forget to remove teh rootdev line. Once I got these two in
sync, it was hunky dory.

Also don't forget, if you break the mirror and run off the physcial
slice, remove the meta-objects. They will still exist in the the
/etc/lvm/md.tab.

SVS (SDS) is your friend... and the manual is a rather short read.
