[gentoo-user] lvm problem -- is timing?

[Maxim Wexler]

Hi group,

Rather than resurrect an old thread though I'd start anew with a fresh clue.

Seems if I add the commands:

vgscan --mknodes
vgchange -a y
mount -a

to /etc/conf.d/bootmisc and add it to the boot runlevel, the eee boots
to a coherent system BUT not before going through LVM failure, errors,
inability to find volumes etc through many console lines until just
after the line:

*Configuring kernel parameters...

comes

Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "vg" using metadata type lvm2
5 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active
...

And everything is fine after that. So it looks like a question of
timing, of executing bootmisc or something like it earlier, say just
after loading dm-mod and dm-crypt and just before the line in the
console:

*Setting up the Logical Volume Manager...

When it all starts to fall apart.

FWIW I'm using baselayout-2.
