Well, if we want to do that then we should also update: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml Of course - that is an initramfs-less configuration, and such a thing would be nearly impossible to do with /usr on root unless you basically don't put anything of value on the LVM volumes in the first place. You could put everything but /boot on LVM and then use an initramfs. Or, you need to cover mounting /usr, /var, etc from the initramfs. And I don't think it is a good idea to NOT have a supported RAID/LVM configuration. That is hardly an edge case... Rich
