Well, if we want to do that then we should also update: |

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml |

Of course - that is an initramfs-less configuration, and such a thing |
| 15 |
would be nearly impossible to do with /usr on root unless you |
| 16 |
basically don't put anything of value on the LVM volumes in the first |
| 17 |
place. You could put everything but /boot on LVM and then use an |
| 18 |
initramfs. Or, you need to cover mounting /usr, /var, etc from the |
| 19 |
initramfs. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And I don't think it is a good idea to NOT have a supported RAID/LVM |
| 22 |
configuration. That is hardly an edge case... |
