Notes about the Debian packaging of LVM ======================================= The /etc/init.d/lvm script checks for the existence of /proc/lvm before it will work. If you do not wish to compile /proc support for LVM into your kernel, you should edit the /etc/init.d/lvm script so that it doesn't make this check. Also note that if you compile LVM as a module, you will have to add it to /etc/modules in order for the lvm init.d script to run properly. This check is made to ensure that LVM will never be started on a kernel that doesn't support it. The script now also checks for the existence of /dev/.devfsd, and will run vgscan if this is found to create the devices required.
