I have an small problem regarding lvm .Now let me give you the details of my setting.First and foremost I am running six different distribution .And for all of them I am using one separate LVM partion to hold the /home dir.Clear?

/dev/sda1 ---> Gentoo

/dev/sda2 ---> Arch

/dev/sda3---> openSUSE

/dev/sda4 ----> Extended

/dev/sda5 -----> swap

/dev/sda6------> Slackware

/dev/sda7 -----> /home( which is lvm)

I am using /dev/sda7 for home mount on all partition.Now what I want to get it done is that

everytime the oses boot it boots /dev/vg/lv to be mounted on /home right?

It's doing alright in Arch .but the point is it's convert the last / (/pv/vg/lv)...before lv to a hypen(-) and mount it corrrectly.

so it turn out to be in mount command and in fstab like this:

/pv/vg-lv (notice the slash convert to hyphen)

I am not sure why is this so..please guide me to correct it. I ff I am not so clear about my situation ..kindly ask so I will try to give you better view.

Trying to achieve single /home(lvm) partition to use with all the oses .

TIA Bhaskar

nope not really as I said in my post the "goal" of this problem. Get a lvm /home partition for all the oses,what would be the right way to mount it at boot. – unixbhaskar Mar 9 '10 at 13:49
