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
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

In your situation, I'd get rid of evms, it's not needed. Use mdadm to
create a raid5 volume from your 3 drives, then use the command-line lvm
tools to create a pv, vg, and all the lvs you want.
Why should people have to use

Why should people have to use several different tool sets for volume

Because it's quicker to learn 4 or 5 simple, small tools than it is to

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 used the info on the EVMS site and there is a wiki entry which
helped quite a bit. I'm not at home so I don't have the wiki entry
but I found it via a search on evms + Gentoo.
I like EVMS as it makes managing the disks much easier
it 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'm not sure what you mean by making 'compatible' volumes...a
