I think ive got everything installed now, one problem i ran into was when i did make install the installer tried to strip lvmcreate_initrd.

lvmcreate_initrd does not appear to be elf or a.out.

Its easy to work around this by compying by hand and changing file permissions, but i thought it was worthy of a mention anyway.

Thanks

Hi Glenn,

well, lvmcreate_initrd is a shell script. Shell scripts don't have a symbol table for debuggers, that can be removed (that's what strip's main purpose is). If the warning is annoying you, patch the make file for the utils and send it to us ;-).

Cheers
Klaus

Hi again, ive made this little patch that fixes what i saw as a problem.

I havent made many diff's before, let me know if i havent done it correctly.

It just modifies the /LVM/0.8final/tools/Makefile so that install-bin doesnt do an install -s on scripts.

Thanks
