hello,

I am having problem running the lvm2create_initrd, here's the output:

Code:
sh ./lvm2create_initrd -M gentoo -c /etc/lvm/lvm.conf -R /etc/mdadm.conf
lvm2create_initrd -- make LVM initial ram disk /boot/initrd-lvm2-2.6.27-gentoo-r4.gz

umount: /tmp/initrd.6955: not mounted
lvm2create_initrd -- ERROR umounting /tmp/initrd.6955
rmdir: failed to remove `/tmp/mnt.6955': Device or resource busy


I was able to run it successfully for few months now.

I don't know what change made it fail.

Any hint where to start ?

Thanks,

Xavier

I dont understand what is going on.
i review the how to on lvm2 on root, kernel config, download the script again... but the problem remain
If i run the script in verbose mode i get the following information

Code:
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 26 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
                  -- creating mountpoint /tmp/mnt.19170
lvm2create_initrd -- mounting ram disk filesystem
                  -- mount -o loop /tmp/initrd.19170 /tmp/mnt.19170
                  -- creating basic set of directories in /tmp/mnt.19170
lvm2create_initrd -- adding required /dev files
                  -- BASICDEVICES: std consoleonly fd
                  -- BLOCKDEVICES: md hda hdb hdc hdd sda sdb sdc sdd


Code:
lvm2create_initrd -- ummounting ram disk
lvm2create_initrd -- ERROR umounting /tmp/initrd.19170
                  -- removing /tmp/initrd.19170
                  -- removing /tmp/mnt.19170
                  -- exit with code 1


somehow it fails to umount the /tmp/initrd.19170 and doesnt create the initrd files

Any help would be very apreciated.

thanks,

xavier

I can mount my old initrd file, remove th files in it and then copy the files from /tmp/mnt.*** to the mounted initrd files and it works.

I have a problem with this part of the script

Code:
echo "$cmd -- ummounting ram disk"
umount $DEVRAM
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
   echo "$cmd -- ERROR umounting $DEVRAM"
   cleanup 1
fi


I dont know why this part stop working....

well never really understood what went wrong here but i spent sometimes settings an initramfs in the kernel and i understand more what i am doing than with the script.
