# This configuration has / on a LVM volume.  Since Grub
# doesn't know about LVM, a separate /boot is therefore
# needed.
#
# In this example, labels are used for file systems and
# swap devices: "boot" might be /dev/sda1, "root" might be
# /dev/my-volume-group/root, and "swap" might be /dev/sda2.
# In particular there is no specific reference to the fact
# that / is on LVM; that's figured out automatically.
