I did not try the -H, I may test with that later. I did look at the --print-cmdline and copied the volumes they mentioned, but I have other lvm volumes in my fstab and none of them were activated, only the ones I specified in the command line! This is where I have run into problems. I have quite a few lvms, I want them all activated! Also, since I wrote the last message, I have been looking at the journalctl output and discovered a couple of things which I would like some help on, but getting the lvms to work is more important. First, whatever happened to DefaultControllers -- I want to disable those cpu hierarchies, but that option seems to have disappeared without a trace, although you can google and see it in some documentation. The keyword also was not accepted in an install section I have, what is the matter with that? I want to use my sysklogd for my syslog, how can I use that with systemd? Thanks so much for all your help on these things. --=20 Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici covici@ccs.covici.com
