Just a little tip to help save some time for anyone who wants to play with
LVM on RedHat 7.3., sorry if it was already posted.

If you want to mount your volumes at boot time, the default RedHat install
will cause you some problems. The solution

rm -f /boot/initrd-2.4.18-10.img
mkinitrd --preload lvm-mod /boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img 2.4.18-10
(The preload is important)

The rc.sysinit script looks for LVM in /proc before the module is loaded,
thus it will fail.

Apparently this was a bug in 7.2 and reported to the bugzill in 2001, but
escaped the 7.3 release.

Now, to move Oracle onto it.

Aj
