Portage doesn't tell me to use a lot of things but I do because it makes |
31 |
things easier for me. I don't always wait for portage to tell me |
32 |
something is about to break before I try to switch. It's just like the |
33 |
init thingy. Right now, I'm not required to use it but I do because |
34 |
when the newer udev comes along, I would then be forced too. I didn't |
35 |
want to wait until the last minute then have to scramble around to get |
36 |
my ducks in a row. Sort of learning to prepare better to avoid problems. |

I have / and /boot on regular partitions but everything else is on LVM |
39 |
including /usr. I got tired of having to move things around for space |
40 |
issues. So, I switched to LVM but not to the point where I needed a |
41 |
init thingy. THAT I wanted to avoid and was until udev threw a wrench |
42 |
into the works. |
43 |
|
44 |
As long as we stick with the current udev I should be fine. If they |
45 |
start moving up to the newer ones tho, I'll be looking into what to do. |
46 |
I'm hoping to switch to eudev and that cure my issues. |
