LVM in slack 12.0 HOW TO--help

[icedtea]

hello group.. check this :

http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwar...README_LVM.TXT

i need some newbie help. . .

accdg to the file :

We are going to 'chroot' into our fresh installation and setup the LVM device
nodes which lilo needs in order to install successfully. While we are
chrooted anyway, we will use the opportunity to create a initial ramdisk image
(initrd) which is required for a root filesystem which is created on LVM.
Run the following commands to "bind" mount the proc and sys filesystems in the
chroot, do the actual chroot and finally create the LVM device nodes:

# mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc

# mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys

# chroot /mnt

# vgscan --mknodes

question is. .. after opening a new console.. how will i do the chroot?

sorry for being noob... will i just do the instruction as said sequentially? ?

all what you need it's to login as root , if you use any of the tty (Ctl Alt +Fx) ,enter root and the password, if you login from your current account type su - and then enter the root password.

UPDATE :

ok so im here : but an error occurred :


from the readme file it says :

# pvcreate /dev/sda1

# vgcreate myvg /dev/sda1

# lvcreate -L 5G -n root myvg

# lvcreate -L 3G -n usr myvg

on my side :

i have set up my LV partitions to /dev/hdc5 -- for my root (2G in size)
/dev/hdc10 -- for usr (5G) and /dev/hdc11 for home

/dev/hdc --- my entire HD

when i did :

pvcreate /dev/hdc

error : no /dev/hdc found (ignored or filtered)

**** so how's that? *****
