The lvm and mdadm packages are the user space utilities used to setup |
| 10 |
devices. Removing them won't stop your existing devices from working. As |
| 11 |
long as you r-emerge the new versions before rebooting, you should be |
| 12 |
fine. Make sure you quickpkg the old versions before removing, in case the |
| 13 |
new emerge fails for some reason. The worst case, if it crashes between |
| 14 |
unmerge and merge, is that you'll have to use a live CD and chroot to |
| 15 |
install them. |
