I've actually managed to install LVM2 on Knoppix 3.6, but I have a slight problem. When I run lvcreate, I get the following error:
Unable to make device node for 'FunkyHD-usr'
/dev/FunkyHD/usr: not found: device not zeroed (FunkyHD is my volume group). Anyway, after poking around, I found the problem to be that even though I'm root lvcreate cannot make entries is the /dev/mapper directory, NOT because of directory permisisons, but because the filesystem is read-only. Obvserve:
root@ttyp0[mapper]# touch hello
touch: cannot touch `hello': Read-only file system
Well, I think the million dollar question that'll sooth all my woes is: How can I write to the /dev/mapper directory in Knoppix 3.6? Please, oh please. There must be a way.
