There's your problem right there. Your device-mapper can't work |
| 21 |
with baselayout-1. So, your options: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Upgrade to baselayout-2 and openrc. You'll have to do it sooner |
| 24 |
or later, and right now seems to be to be a very good time to do |
| 25 |
it. |

device-mapper has moved into lvm2 (as lvm is the primary consumer |
| 28 |
of device-mapper). If device-mapper is not installed according to |
| 29 |
portage, and you have files left, then they are orphans left over |
| 30 |
because of CONFIG_PROTECT and can be deleted. Then emerge lvm2 |
