I'll admit I am new to LVM2, but I have got myself in a bad spot.
I renamed the LVM volume and volume group so that I can keep track of what is in them. I have changed grub's menu.lst, /etc/fstab, and /etc/mtab, but somewhere else there is still something telling lvm that my root drive is on VolGroup00. Where is it, and how do I convince it that VolGroup00/Volume00 (or whatever the defaults are) is now DriveC/Centos? I suspect it may be hiding in initrd (compressed).
Yep. Fortunately, thats a cpio file. So uncompress, go to tmp make a work dir and "cpio -idmvc -I <your uncompressed file name>".
I tried this, but I get the message: [root@Office2 /home/tmiller/tmp/centos01]$cpio -idmvc -F /media/centos/boot/initrd-2.6.9-34.EL.img cpio: premature end of file
No files show up in the directory. Any ideas appreciated. Doing this in Mandrake 2006.0.

Then cd into the dir and find . -name init. Edit that file. There's two "ingnorelockingfailure" imperatives in there. One of them names the volgroup. Add yours to the list (comma, IIRC - use the man page if there is one).
Then cpio it back up by using the -c param and compress it.
