10 There was NEVER a stable package release of sys-fs/clvm.

12 Correspondingly, you must use the ~arch releases of sys-fs/lvm2 for good
13 CLVM support.
14
15 Additionally, the clvm use flag is use.mask'd for nearly all
16 architectures, because nobody has tested it.
17 x86 is the only arch that has it unmasked:
18 /usr/portage/profiles/arch/x86/use.mask:-clvm

21 Could you elaborate on how it doesn't work? What is your SAN hardware?

26 Upstream LVM2 merged device-mapper into LVM2, that's why the dep has a
27 || block.
