Sorry, in lste-breaking news, it looks like udev is a mandatory |
| 9 |
dependancy for lvm2. No udev ==> No lvm2 |

Can you run a test for me? What happens when you... |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1) insert the line |
| 14 |
sys-fs/udev |
| 15 |
into /etc/portage/package.mask |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
2) execute "emerge -pv system" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
3) execute "emerge -pv world" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
4) Remember to remove the "sys-fs/udev" line from package.mask<G> |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I expect that you should get an error message about not being able to |
| 24 |
emerge lvm2 due to udev being masked. This is something I intend to add |
| 25 |
to the instructions, so people can check ahead of time whether their |
| 26 |
particular setup is able to run without udev. |
