Hi,
I'm issuing a similar problem on a similar configuration (Gentoo, /var
and /usr on LVM2, initng-0.6.7 and SVN ifiles). After some
investigation, I managed to solve the LVM problem by editing some .i
files that way:
in /etc/initng/system/mountroot.i, edit system/mountroot/check to be
like that (just move system/mountroot/lvm from 'use' to 'need'):
service system/mountroot/check {
need = system/initial system/mountroot/lvm;
use = system/mountroot/evms system/mountroot/dmsetup;
...
}
I also had to remove system/modules/lvm and system/modules/lvm-mod
from system/mountroot/lvm need since lvm is compiled in and it was
causing circular dependencies.
That way, vgscan should be run before fscking your logical volumes,
avoiding errors like '/dev/vg/pv invalid or missing'.
(maybe I also made some changes I don't remenber right now...)
The problem I'm facing right now is that agetty can't be run: I get
errors during startup stating something like "can't find a MATCH for
provide = virtual/getty/${NAME}" (I just forgot the exact message
while I was typing this mail... :| ).
Good luck,
Guillaume
