(/sbin/lvmcreate_initrd line 262) when `tail -1' is replaced by `tail -n 1' the script works as expected. pls correct using a patch or some sed script in the ebuild. tigger@ereet.co.uk 2004-07-08 01:56:08 0000 bash-2.05b$ diff -u lvm-user-1.0.7-r1.ebuild lvm-user-1.0.7-r2.ebuild --- lvm-user-1.0.7-r1.ebuild 2004-06-30 18:35:54.000000000 +0100 +++ lvm-user-1.0.7-r2.ebuild 2004-07-08 09:51:22.359606800 +0100 @@ -43,6 +43,9 @@ # Fix flags sed -i -e "54,56d" -e "73d" make.tmpl + # Fix tail + sed -i -e 's/tail -1/tail -n 1/' tools/lvmcreate_initrd + make || die "Make failed" } Easily fixed :) rocket@gentoo.org 2005-06-28 10:24:09 0000 This is in the -r4 version of lvm-user.
