Bug 334347 – sys-kernel/dracut-007 lvm module depends on dm module

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Akos Szalkai 2010-08-24 20:11:09 UTC]

In the new dracut ebuilds starting from dracut-006-r1, the dracut modules that are unnecessary (i.e. not specified by USE switches and not depended on) are not installed.  However, the lvm dracut module depends on the dm dracut module.

FIX: add lvm to DM_IUSE in the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE='lvm -crypt -dmraid -dmsquash-live' emerge dracut
2. run dracut: you get the following warning:
   W: Cannot load dracut module "lvm", dependencies failed.
3. lvm is not included in the image, system cannot boot if root fs is on LVM

Thank you for your report and patch.  I have reviewed modules dependencies once again, was just that.
