The lvm and mdadm packages are the user space utilities used to setup devices. Removing them won't stop your existing devices from working. As long as you r-emerge the new versions before rebooting, you should be fine. Make sure you quickpkg the old versions before removing, in case the new emerge fails for some reason. The worst case, if it crashes between unmerge and merge, is that you'll have to use a live CD and chroot to install them. -- Neil Bothwick I used to live in the real world, but I got evicted.
