Yes ... but I still don't fully get what services to enable to get it |
| 7 |
set up correctly. lvmetad yes or no, various systemd-generators ... to |
| 8 |
me it looks a bit confusing. I had a local lvm.service ... and disabled |
| 9 |
it already. |

No such package in portage on my thinkpad ... (using this machine to reply). |

one ssd for / and /home ... 2 hdds building 2 mdadm-arrays as PVs, VGs |
| 30 |
on top ... LVs for data/music/VMs/etc |

I will try to. Disabling it from a non-booting system is a bit |
| 36 |
difficult. Commenting the fstab-lines containing LVs didn't help to skip |
| 37 |
this step so far (seems there is this LVM-systemd-generator called) |

No. |

Additional scratching: even editing the grub2-line doesn't reliably |
| 57 |
chose openrc for booting. Oh my ... |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
It would help to somehow set a smaller timeout for this start job to at |
| 60 |
least get into emergency mode sooner. Right now it waits forever ("no |
| 61 |
limit"). |
