Almost my entire system is now on LVM. The largest filesystems have
their own Logical Volume: /home, /usr, /opt, and /var. This has, until
now, caused problems with migration from 2.4 to 2.6 due to the lack of
userland support for LVM2. sys-apps/lvm2-2.00.06 was released into
Portage recently. The problem in the past has been my inability to do
anything after booting the 2.6 kernel, since those four major
filesystems were inaccessible. Now that the support I need is provided,
I am unsure as to what procedure I should take. sys-apps/lvm2 depends on
sys-libs/device-mapper, which is already patched into the 2.6 kernel.

Question: Would it cause problems to emerge device-mapper at this point
before migrating to 2.6?
Another question: Will I still require some form of initrd script to
scan for and initialize my LVM1 volumes at boot-time?
