Hi,

I ended up making a clean install of fc23 on sda and dual booting to old
badly configured sdb with a fc22 working and a (not working) fc23.

Backed up and restored data, and (just to try and revise LVM) I am
trying to clean up sdb and just get fc22 to run without the old fc23.

I deleted the old root LV and the fedora00 VG, then unlabelled the pv
(sdb6) OK

I then removed the LV swap00 which was in another VG that I thought was
not being used, but it was!!

I found my fc22 was using the swap from another VG!
I managed to re-create the swap LV OK and fc22 now boots.




The above is referenced to my earlier posts but keeping a little more
simple!:

I have a basic problem that would be nice to resolve, I cannot make the
fc22 boot with its own swap (I have a "Fedora" VG with a 4GB swap LV and
a root00 LV).

I have done a grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.config but it is still
looking for the original swap on the other partition!

Should I have done something with initramfs to correct things or have I
missed something!?

It would be nice to not just do a windoze thing and reformat the HD.

Regards
