Description Philipp Kirchner 2004-03-29 14:22:38 UTC

Please add lvm2 support to genkernel, so i can use gentoo on my root-on-lvm system...

Comment 1 Philipp Kirchner 2004-03-30 11:37:00 UTC

I applied the patch from #44091, i now have statically linked lvm2, i am trying to tweak genkernel to include the binaries and execute them on boot...

Patch for LVM2

When you apply this patch to genkernal and have build lvm2 statically, it will
scan and activate your volumes in the initrd -> root on lvm2 is possible
(tried with 2.4.25-gentoo)

Patch for genkernel - 2nd Edition

This one also works without having "mount devfs at boot" set....

Added into genkernel-3.0.2b; it should reach Portage from CVS in half-an-hour. Thanks!

+ 	if [ -e "/sbin/vgscan.static" ]

Neither lvm2-2.00.08.ebuild nor lvm2-2.00.15.ebuild
provide any vgscan.static. Only vgscan which is a symlink
to lvm.

Which package provides vgscan.static?
The lvm2 ebuilds also do not support USE=static.

Comment 6 Philipp Kirchner 2004-06-23 08:52:35 UTC

For Now you have to use the patches form Bug 44091 to get statically linked lvm2
