centos and RH use partition names in /etc/fstab. If the LVM stack is removed, the partition naming is now gone.<br><br>It's easier to reinstall and manually create partitions than to migrate from LVM to not-LVM.<br><br>

I'm trying to take the default LVM2 arrangement out from within a CentOS<br>
5.4 install and replace it with the classic three-primary-partition<br>
arrangement...my machine boots up and I get a login prompt, but when I<br>
try to log in I see for an instant "no shell. permission denied." Net<br>
doesn't start so I can't shell in.<br>
<br>
Permissions of /root, /bin/bash, /etc/passwd and everything else I can<br>
think of are rwx for root...the tarball I made from the LV contents used<br>
a "p" in the args coming and going.<br>
<br>
I've put some things in root's crontab and rc.local that do file writes;<br>
I am led to believe that my / is read-only when I boot.<br>
<br>
I can boot up to single-user mode and my / is read-write, for what it's<br>
worth.<br>
<br>
What might I have missed?<br>
