LVMCREATE_INITRD(8)

NAME
lvmcreate_initrd - create an initial ramdisk to boot with root on a logical volume

SYNOPSIS
lvcmreate_initrd [KernelVersion]

DESCRIPTION
lvmcreate_initrd creates a new compressed initial ramdisk in /boot/initrd.gz. The initial ramdisk containes all necessary binaries, shared libraries and a linuxrc file to switch to a logical volume based root filesystem. lvmcreate_initrd assumes that /dev/vg00/root contains the root filesystem. To build an initial ramdisk for a not running but generated kernel add the KernelVersion parameter (for eg. 2.3.25) on the command line.

DIAGNOSTICS
lvcmcreate_initrd return 0 for success. 1 is returned in all other cases.
