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>". 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.
