[gentoo-user] udev, scsi modules and lvm2

[Andrej Filipcic]

Hi,

I have the following problem with lvm2 and volume groups discovery.

With emulex FC scsi controller as module (lpfc) where data disks are attached 
and configured with lvm2, the volume groups are not automatically scanned at 
boot. lpfc is added to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, so scsi disks are 
detected properly.

The trouble is that udev is running the lvm scan before lpfc is autoloaded. 
The workaround is either to use non-modular lpfc or do an additional 
vgscan/vgchange/mount after boot in local.startup.

Is there a better/proper way with baselayout-1 (except for initramfs)? Somehow 
I would prefer to have lpfc modular.

Thanks,
Andrej
