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. HTH -- Bill > <snip eulogy intro>
