Hello, |

I upgraded a kde3 system to kde4. Along the way, to get past |
5 |
blocking, I had to install device-mapper. Not sure if all system had |
6 |
it before, as I never looked that closely. This particular system |
7 |
is all reiserf, except for the swap partition. (please no file systems |
8 |
(flame) discussion). To see the old issues in greater detail [1]. |

Baselayout is 1.12.13 is installed. |
12 |
All is good. Yesterday, I had to remove device-mapper to so that |
13 |
udev-146-r1 could install. So reading a little bit on this, it seems |
14 |
that I must have lvm2 installed? lvm2 is installed so |
15 |
all is cool? |

Also, I have e2fsprogs installed, but, I do not think I need it, but |
20 |
is it a good idea to just leave it installed? I do periodically connect |
21 |
other hard drives to recover files and data, using a usb-2-ide(or sata) |
22 |
cable on this system, so ext2/3/4 support is probably a good idea, but |
23 |
is it absolutely required? |

This is a critical system for me, so I just want to make sure |
27 |
I'm not missing anything on the 'sunset' of device-mapper. |
28 |
I have not reboot yet, since all of these changes..... |
