Lvm setup-storage mount point

[Tsapline Sylvain]

Hello

Yes well I like magician, i'm just trying to fing out a way to specify a mount point without specifying a /dev/sdaX

For example HP systems use /dev/cciss/cXdXpX and can't handle a /dev/sda mountpoint.

And this might be a problem while it can be handle by FAI classes, It would be easier for me to use a generic disk_config file.

Autodiscovery works when using  is "disk_config disk1" to create primary or logical partition.

So my point is to know is there any way to adress a lvm volume using a generic mount point like "disk_config lvm disk1 3"  for example to set up a lvm group on the third partition of disk 1

And yes well I like magic :)

Regards

Sylvain

How should that work? After all, /home is not declared to be any partition. And
even more so, it is self-contradictory, isn't it? There is something mounted as
/home and now you put an LVM volume group onto that device, so it cannot be
mounted as /home anymore. Or am I missing some LVM magic?

Best,
