SourceMage Fans,
I discovered SMGL a couple of years ago, and ran it for a while. I think
I suffer from a Linux Distro form of ADD. Recently I've done a lot of
distro hopping. I even recently ran a couple of non-Linux OSes for a
while, OpenSolaris and FreeBSD. But I should have known I couldn't give
up on Linux.
I forget exactly why I switched from SMGL and tried other distros back
then. I think one reason was probably adding a second hard drive to my
PC. I gave a few distros that handled root on LVM "out of the box" a try.
But, I keep feeling the pull of SMGL. I could live without having root on
LVM, but prefer to have all the space on my drives available as one LVM lv
if possible. Is there currently a way to install SMGL on an LVM root
partition? I found a couple of pages in the SMGL wiki. The first one
details an install method:
http://www.sourcemage.org/Install_Source_Mage_LVM2
but was last updated in 2006, and has the following link:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/sourcemage/iso/special/smgl-0510-lvm2.iso.bz2
pointing to an iso image which doesn't appear to exist any longer. The
other page:
http://www.sourcemage.org/LVM2-on-root_Guide
just says "Coming soon!" but was last updated about a year ago.
Is root on LVM currently possible with SMGL?
