Hi all, Some of you may remember my problems with lvm after an update in http://www.archivum.info/[email protected]/2008-04/msg00899.html
I'm now headed back towards the same situation. I have a load of updates to do according to emerge -DNavu world but I've had to mask all upgraded versions of udev, mdadm and lvm as every time I upgrade them, it breaks my disk access. Whenever I upgrade these packages (I'm not which one of those 3 is actually to blame, and I don't want to chance it) I can no longer access the lvm volumes on my disks. I have no idea what is causing it. This means I cannot do a world update as those manually masked packages are blocking a lot of other packages. A few months on, is anyone able to shed light on why updating any of those 3 packages causes my system to be unbootable and my data to be inaccessible? I would really like to keep my system up to date, but as you can understand, I'm loathe to make changes that will give me a borked system yet again. Grateful for advice anyone can give as my system is now getting quite out of date. Thanks Matt Harrison
