I've done lvm on a root partition before with the old baselayout. Just followed the directions here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Gentoo_on_an_LVM2_root_partition It did need an initramfs, but genkernel makes that step pretty easy. Haven't really played with 2 yet, but from what I see it looks pretty spiffy. Wil -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
