Hey folks,
Well, I thought I would update on my transfer. I couldn't figure out
how to make a initrd thing first off. I also just could not figure out
how EVMS really worked. Maybe it was just a bad time to try to teach a
old dog new tricks. Anyway, I got my OS transfered anyway.
I had a fr

Has anyone gotten their system to boot with an evms root volume on a
purely udev system? If so, can you tell me how you did it.
The problem I am having is the initrd from the evms site expects a
kernel that understands devfs. The problem I'm having with genkernel
--evms2 is that it complains

That's what I am noticing too. I hope I can get a grasp of all this
soon. Maybe now that someone else is asking quest

At the end of the day, yes.

Why should people have to us
as this is a
home system and I found I liked it so much I'll use it on any work Linux
systems that I have.

I like EVMS as it makes managing the disks much easier

Trying to set up a new server using evms, but the howto on the gentoo
site seems very old and incomplete. is there a better/more complete
one? basically, i've got 3 hot-swappable scsi drives, but no raid
controller.. I want to end up with lvm logical volumes on top of a
software raid-5.

I have a system with a SCSI hardware RAID - the RAID makes ukp device
/dev/sda. I want to use EVMS on it but not use an initrd for it. I
created partitions for /boot (/dev/sda1) and / (/dev/sda2) which is
/mnt/gentoo at this point. However, EVMS can not handle the fact that
/dev/sda already

Thanks. I have it set up with / and /boot as regular partitions and I'll let
EVMS handle the rest.

/ yes, you'll have to boot with an initrd. /boot depends on the bootloader.
AFAI

I'm not sure what you mean by making 'compatible' volumes...a
partition/disk is either an LVM physical volume, or
I understand that you can put /boot and / on an LVM but it's not
recommended. What about making / and /boot EVMS compatible volumes - will
that work?
Thanks.
