Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • The Amazon AMI's provided for RHEL 6 creates following layout:

    1st partition - /boot
    2nd partition - / , root filesystem (without lvm)

    But it would be ideal to have /boot on first partition and lvm on second partition so that root filesystem could be created over lvm volumes.

  • How to modify Amazon AMI to use lvm volume for root filesystem instead of above partition, filesystem layout?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7
  • Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
