I may need to do that since I have all but /boot and / on LVM now. I'm now running lvm2-2.02.95-r1 on both ~amd64 machines and all is well. The secret, as Neil reminded us, is to change /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to read: locking_dir = /run/lock/lvm This works because /run (recently, anyway) is created/mounted on tmpfs before lvm starts, and that gives lvm somewhere to write its lock file when it starts. The default setting is /dev/.lvm, but /dev may not exist when lvm needs to start, depending on how your machine is set up, I think/guess. This applies only to ~ versions, BTW, not stable.

This sort of issue is precisely why I do that. This still isn't an issue, as long as you use --keep-going. The emerge world will proceed to update everything but the one affected package. I know most people don't like calculating all the dependencies multiple times but I prefer to do so, get the files and then pretty much be guaranteed that the build proceeds without much attention from me. It is a useful method of detecting potential problems, but this isn't really a problem. However, as my script emails me the output of emerge -p world (which means I actually calculate the dependencies three times, but I don't care as I'm asleep for the first two) I know about the fetch restriction as soon as I read my mail, and can decide whether to deal with it immediately or ignore it. -- Neil Bothwick Don't be humble, you're not that great. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I gave this a serious shot, but it's not easy.
First, you can override the ebuild environment:
$ cat /etc/portage/bashrc
if [ ${EBUILD_PHASE} == clean ] [ ${PN} == sun-jdk ]; then
...
You can parse out the important stuff from the ebuild. This sets JDK_URI
to the value contained in the ebuild:
eval `${GREP} JDK_URI= ${EBUILD}`
And you can even parse the URL out of the HTML file pretty easily with a
regular expression. But, unfortunately, they're checking for cookies:
$ wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u31-b04/jdk-
6u31-linux-x64.bin
...
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Moved Temporarily
Location: http://download.oracle.com/errors/download-fail-1505220.html
And, the cookies don't get set in a normal HTTP request. So you can't
just `curl $JDK_URI` and save the cookies.
It looks like the URL that sets the cookies is created by that
javascript lightbox code, so you need to be able to evaluate JS, get
that URL, hit the page, and save its cookies before you're allowed to
download the file.
Finally, the cookies are dynamic, and not something like let_me_in=True.
So maybe it's still possible, but scp is looking a lot better right now.
