sys-fs/lvm2 is linked dynamically, so it cannot be used within an initrd.

Did recompiling device-manager statically fix this?
Created attachment 31484 [details, diff] Patch for 2.00.15 Applied the previous posted patch to lvm2-2.00.15.ebuild
Using sys-libs/device-mapper-1.00.08, lvm2 compiles fine with USE=static, but it does not work: root@cube:/usr/local/portage/sys-libs# vgdisplay.static No such command. Try 'help'. It's probably confused by the .static suffix.
Created attachment 31832 [details, diff] patch for LVM2.2.00.15 to cope with *.static command names
Created attachment 31834 [details, diff] Updated patch for lvm2.2.00.15.ebuild This patch against vanilla lvm2-2.00.15.ebuild applies the command name patch and provides static binaries if USE=static is set. BTW: Is there a reason to provide static binaries only if USE=static is set? The dynamically linked ones are always included.
Adding myself, since I will be looking into implementing this on the LiveCD's soon.
Not a kernel bug, so I'm giving it to you :) If someone else should own it, please reassign it.
Does genkernel have support for this now?
3.0.2b should, yes. It just needs the static binaries to be in place - if it doesn't complain that they're not there they should work...
Max: could you implement the static USE flag on lvm2, then reassign this back to livecd@gentoo.org when you're done? Thanks
I've commited 15-r1 which has USE="static" support. note: it installs the static binaries instead of the dynamic ones, not as well as. Same name, same symlinks. Genkernel will need to be fixed to not check for binary.static names but make sure /sbin/lvm is static then cp it + create two symlinks to it.

sorry, didn't roll the patch properly, its against gen_initrd.sh
Created attachment 39279 [details, diff] fix previous borked patch (sorry)
lvm2 without USE=static dies in sed: >>> Unpacking LVM2.2.00.15.tgz to /data/tmp/portage/lvm2-2.00.15-r1/work !!! ERROR: sys-fs/lvm2-2.00.15-r1 failed. !!!

fixed and commited. sorry about that
Rob: Can you get your patch to use ldd (part of glibc) instead of file (which is an external application) and also use grep -q instead of grep ... > /dev/null? Thanks!
Created attachment 39951 [details, diff] changes as requested
So Tim... what's the verdict on this? Will genkernel pull in the proper files into the initrd? If so, which version?
I'm going to mark this as fixed, since the newest version of genkernel has support for lvm in the initrd provided lvm is compiled with USE=static before genkernel runs. If there is a problem, be sure to REOPEN this bug.
