Hi all, |
2 |
|

Some of you may remember my problems with lvm after an update in |
4 |
http://www.archivum.info/gentoo-user@l.g.o/2008-04/msg00899.html |

I'm now headed back towards the same situation. I have a load of updates to do |
7 |
according to emerge -DNavu world but I've had to mask all upgraded versions of |
8 |
udev, mdadm and lvm as every time I upgrade them, it breaks my disk access. |
9 |
|
10 |
Whenever I upgrade these packages (I'm not which one of those 3 is actually to |
11 |
blame, and I don't want to chance it) I can no longer access the lvm volumes on |
12 |
my disks. I have no idea what is causing it. |
13 |
|
14 |
This means I cannot do a world update as those manually masked packages are |
15 |
blocking a lot of other packages. |
16 |
|
17 |
A few months on, is anyone able to shed light on why updating any of those 3 |
18 |
packages causes my system to be unbootable and my data to be inaccessible? |
19 |
|
20 |
I would really like to keep my system up to date, but as you can understand, I'm |
21 |
loathe to make changes that will give me a borked system yet again. |
22 |
|
23 |
Grateful for advice anyone can give as my system is now getting quite out of |
24 |
date. |

Thanks |
