Cubox 2.9 jessie lvm boot

[Yuri Nakonechny]

Hello,

I am using clean 2.9 jessie build on Cubox-i.

I am planning to move from 1*bare sata HDD boot to 2*sata HDDs with lvm mirroring.

Somebody had tried to boot from lvm on such devices? Is it works out-of-box or need some tweak?

 

Thanks,

Yuri.

Tried to do that after newly upgrade to 4.5 and... it doesn`t boot.

 

What I have done:

hdd clearly seen by the system as /dev/sda device;

create new partition on whole hdd (320Gb);

create physical device /dev/sda1;

create group "vg0" and volume "system" within it;

format it with ext4, mount as /mnt;

do rsync from / to /mnt (as found in nand-sata-install script);

change "root=/dev/mapper/vg0-system" parameter in boot.cmd;

remove "rd.dm=0 rd.luks=0 rd.lvm=0 raid=noautodetect" from boot.cmd, make boot.scr;

change fstab from mmcblk to "/dev/mapper/vg0-system";

reboot.

 

Anybody have suggestions what is going wrong?

 

UPD: It stuck with kernel message on screen:

rtc-pcf8523 2-0068: hctosys: unable to read the hardware clock

This is a bit odd. I guess with SD boot you don't get that?

 

Regarding LVM ... don't have experiences if it works.
