Is it okay to have root file system on a lvm2 logical volume? Because, I always get the following error on every time I reboot or shutdown the machine.
Can't deactivate volume group "vgSystem" with 1 open logical volume(s)
failed
will now restart.
vgSystem volume group contains two logical volumes, namely, lvRoot for root file system and lvSwap for swap.
Although, it has no effect on booting on next time, personally I don not like to see warning messages in Red letters, especially the one which says failed. So can someone help me regarding this issue.
In case if you want to know my partition structure, here it is...
Disk /dev/sda: 247.0 GB, 246960619520 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30024 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0000993f
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 122 975872 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 122 3648 28320768 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda3 3648 30025 211873792 8e Linux LVM
On side question: How to avoid the statement Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary is appearing when partitioning using fdisk (i.e. how to partition correctly so that the above statement does not appear)
Thank you in advance :)
