What are LVM and EVMS? LVM stands for logical volume management and EVMS for enterprise volume management system. They are tools for managing files systems and partions across raid arrays SANs and other cool things, but they cool even on laptops and desktops. Check out the gentoo install docs for an LVM howto and check Daniel Robbins article on EVMS for IBMs Developer works site. Google is also your friend for this.

[gentoo-user] Virtual mail howto unable to get phpmyadmin working
Hi, would some body please be kind enough to poke me with the pointy clue stick over this, as I am slowly reaching the throw box out of window stage. My problem is as follows: I have set up Postfix Courier and Mysql. I can connect on the command line with mysqladmin reach the relevant DB and no more as it should be. I do have my password correct and have tested this. When I try to connect with phpmyadmin, I get the following error: Server localhost Error MySQL said: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) I have tried using the exact syntax used in the Code listing 8.3: Configuring phpMyAdmin down to using '$password' exactly and adding the correct mysql password in clear text inplace of the above.[1] My knowledge of mysql, php4 and phpmyadmin are pretty much limited to trying to set up this mail system, so if I am doing something obviously wrong please apologies.

Your system is fundamentally toasted when this happens as a Gentoo newbie I am now now cleaning up my mess a second time with this problem. Firstly I screwed up trying SE Linux patches, this time trying to eliminate a download problem I had been having by downgrading the system to stable. Most of the hacks I have found in the forums are real ugly involving downloading binary gcc and recompiling. I am backing up anything valuable including my disfiles to /data umounting it, and then boot strapping again since for me 50-75% of my build time is downloading and I am looking to change various USE flags in make.conf it seems to make sense to me. Once I have the initial layout done again I intend to rebuild the system again. copy back the relevant files and remount non system partitions. I feel however that this is something that should go into the FAQ when the cleanest solution to this problem is found. Finally although this is a user error thing it is a very easy error to make do people out there believe that this should be raised as a bug at least so future gentoo development can take the muppetry of people such as myself into consideration.
