I think that beta tester was me. I had lvm2 partitions running under |
| 12 |
mdev without problems. (They were also RAID-1, just for completion's |
| 13 |
sake.) |

The only change I had to make was to my /etc/fstab. Where I previously |
| 16 |
had: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
/dev/vg/usr /usr <options> |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
under udev, I then needed |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
/dev/mapper/vg-usr /usr <options> |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
instead. mdev failed to create the /dev/vg directory. With this change, |
| 25 |
my system worked quite happily. Sadly, I went back to udev when |
| 26 |
xf86-input-evdev-2.7.0 started depending on udev, back in June last year. |
