mjackson : 18/11/01 08:52 PM : Incident created -   I would like to be able to name logical volumes in the installer, instead of them being named 1,2,3 etc.
Linegod_7611 : 19/11/01 05:20 AM : Reply received -   There is no way to 'name' logical volumes, as it really doesn't matter what they are numbered, you assigned them names with mount ie: /dev/hda6 might be called /usr . Once the drive has been assigned a name, you never really reference it again, unless you are going to unmount it via command line, or run tests on it, via command line.
mjackson : 21/11/01 03:40 AM : More info provided -   OK, maybe I should clarify my situation a bit. I like naming my lvols after the filesystem I plan to mount to it - makes it easy to remember which is which, makes fstab easier to read, e.g.: /dev/anduril/iso /iso reiserfs defaults 1 2 Where "/dev/anduril/iso" is an lvol name. When I create the lvols in the installer (kudos, btw, to l-m for supporting this, the only other distro I know for sure does is SuSE), I have no control over the volume name - as I create each new one, it creates /dev/anduril/1 /dev/anduril/2 /dev/anduril/3 And so on. Which I then lvrename to the names I want them to have. I would consider it a good thing if the installer gave me a place to name my logical volumes at install time.

The best way to get a change to the install process like this done, is to sign up to the 'cooker' mailing list - http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/flists.php3 , and make the suggestion there, as the majority of 'experts' on this list have no control over the distribution itself, and are just a collection of volunteers.
mjackson : 23/11/01 05:55 AM : Incident closed -   Perhaps it would not be unreasonable that if someone is asking about "logical volumes", he means logical volumes as in LVM...still, I understand that most of the tech support here is fairly entry-level.
