Bug 27420 – lvmcreate_initrd contains obsolete use of `tail -1'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas Weidner 2003-08-27 06:19:05 UTC]

lvmcreate_initrd always fails creating a ramdisk,because the created ramdisk is too small. this is caused by using `tail -1' which is obsolete and exits with an error. (/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.

Easily fixed :)

This is in the -r4 version of lvm-user.  Closing as fixed.
