disabling LVM (Logical Volume Manager)?

[robelanator]

This is more a general Linux question than a specifically Knoppix question, but here goes anyway:

During startup the LVM is loaded and, since I have no logical drives set up, it seaches and doesn't find anything. Then, when I shut down, the LVM tries to unmount the non-existant drives and returns an error. I wouldn't be so concerned as it doesn't really affect startup and shutdown times, but every time it returns an error it sends the message to /var/mail/root which is REALLY annoying.

I've already used the SysVinit program that came with KDE to disable PCMCIA, bind9, etc. but I'm a little wary of killing the LVM. Should I be? Since I have no logical drives, disabling the LVM from starting up or shutting down shouldn't be a problem, right?

Hi,

I did
apt-get remove lvm10 lvm-common

Thanks Martin! I was just wondering if it would adversely affect my system but since you apparently did it without a problem I'll do the same.

You may also have to go into /etc/cron.d/lvw-common and comment out the cron job line.

HTH
