Thing is, I don't want to switch then have someone mess things up and
have to go back and switch again. As it is, lvm is working fine. It
was just a failed recompile during a emerge -e world, nothing major like
a failed upgrade or anything. I posted to see what the problem is so I
could report it. Since it is reported already, I'm fine with waiting.
I'm not going to get anything new even after it compiles.
Also, Lennart messed up udev and as long as I can stay away from it, I
plan too. If someone posts that he sees the error in going the way he
was, then I'll revisit it then. I just don't want to be switching back
and forth when it is not really needed. I also don't want systemd stuff
here either since I don't use it.
I might also add, it fails in the same way with plain udev. Even if I
switch back to udev, it will still fail. It really comes down to a
error from a upgraded gcc from my recollection. From what I recall, I
could just switch to a older gcc and compile with it.
