Bug 19745 – EBUILD: sys-apps/lvm2-user

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Jones 2003-04-21 22:19:57 UTC]

Hi.  This is the complement to the ebuild I just submitted, device-mapper.  It
has device-mapper as a dependency.  It's used to manage the Logical Volume
Manager present in 2.5+ kernels.

It almost certainly belongs in sys-apps. :-)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Ebuild for sys-apps/lvm2-user (LVM Userspace Utilities)

Okay, the dog can't enjoy himself this time :-(

Ebuild: sys-apps/lvm2-user (Userspace utilities for LVM2)

This time it's the right version (was a few revs behind before!)

BUT!  I've thrown in an lvm2 init script to make up for my deficiency! :-)

/etc/init.d/lvm2 init script for lvm2-user

to make up for my deficiencies :-(

quick question:  why not make lvm2 userspace utils depend on device mapper and do 
the kernel check in the device-mapper ebuild?  Besides that, why force lvm2 and dm 
to only install in 2.5 kernels?  I have it happily running on 2.4.20 with the patch from 
sistina.com. 

[Comment 5 Max Kalika (RETIRED) 2003-05-29 12:35:13 UTC]

I just posted a bug (bug 21908) with patches to checkfs and halt.sh that 
enable/disable LVM on boot/shutdown.  I'd say that is a cleaner way of handling LVM 
(de)activation since there's already support for LVM1 in those files.  Therefore there's 
probably no need for an init script (especially since there's a order problem with it -- 
see my bug please).  Would it make sense also to make this bug depend on 19744 
and 21908? 

[Comment 6 Sean P. Kane 2003-06-13 16:00:59 UTC]

Note: if bug 22768 gets added to the kernel the lvm2 and device-mapper ebuilds will need to allow people to build it on a 2.4 kernel, but could check for a version with the LVM2 backport patches applied.

[Comment 7 Sean P. Kane 2003-06-13 16:11:44 UTC]

This ebuild will also need to be set with an rdepend on device-manager, which it isn't currently. When I tried to build lvm2 first. It failed, but it worked after I built device-mapper (note this is on a patched 2.4 kernel (see bug: 22768))

this is in portage now.

I don't understand. Why was lvm2-2.00.05 added to Portage when version 2.00.06 is already released since 2003-08-20? Version 2.00.06 has less bugs. Please update!
The same holds for device mapper.
BTW, this was mentioned in bug 25898 which was marked as duplicate.

> The same holds for device mapper.

My comment regarding device-mapper is wrong. Portage already contains the newest version.
:-)

shiny new version is now in portage.  enjoy!
