Hey all.
I realised a few days ago that I'd screwed up the partitioning on this machine.
I had originally planned to dual-boot with Windows, but I changed my mind and
decided to re-install.
I also didn't have LVM setup like I prefer to (to avoid the whole partition
problem in the first place), but have had a very hard time bootstrapping
a Gentoo LVM install for some reason.
Here's my partition setup, just to give some information:
/dev/hda1 70M /boot partition
/dev/hda2 512M swap
/dev/hda3 1GB / partition
/dev/hda4 4.53G LVM PV
The logical volumes I want to use are a 2GB /usr and a 2GB /var (leaving
about half-a-gig I can re-allocate later).
What I've tried to do is, right after the bootstrap process, emerge the
lvm-user stuff (which emerges a number of things), setup and mount my
logical volumes, and then continue on the process.
I tried to move the current /usr and /var, and overwrite them with the new LVM
versions, but both were in use. As an experiment, instead of moving the
/usr.new and /var.new to /usr and /var, I simply sim-linked /usr to /usr.new,
and the same with var.
This seemed to work OK, until I get this error:
ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY
LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-fileutils-4.1.11-r1-4170.log
unlink: /usr.new/lib/cf4188/conftest9012345
unlink: /usr.new/lib/cf4188/conftest9012346
The above log file only contains the two "unlink" lines above.
I've read the LVM install page, but it assumes that you have a working version
of the LVM utilities at the partition and mounting phase, and I can't seem to
figure out a way to do that.
Thanks for any help, LMK if there's any more information I need to pass on.
