I didn't either.  I thought the instructions were very clear and easy

[gentoo-user] how to match kernel and udev/lvm2 ?

*WARNING*  ---- old stuff mentioned, pls don't say "get up to date"

greets,

another special question today:

I had an issue w/ a customer server yesterday.

It still runs kernel 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 due to the fact that they still
run vmware-server-1.0.8.126538 and the related modules.

Back then I figured out that newer vmware-modules wouldn't compile w/
newer kernels ... and so on.

In fact they don't want to spend money on upgrading (vmware-server etc)
because there will be a new and shiny server later this year.

-

But the guy asked me if we could swap harddrives to add space, and
increase the LVM volume group etc.

I said yes .. and upgraded stuff like udev and lvm2 a few weeks ago,
just in case and to have the latest releases. It hit us yesterday when
he swapped a fan and at reboot udev didn't create proper sdX and mdX
devices anymore ...

So I had to downgrade udev and lvm2 again to fit that ancient kernel. I
used genlop to check which versions were installed at the time the last
successful boot had happened.

Right now I have:

sys-fs/udev-124-r2

sys-fs/lvm2-2.02-56-r2

yep, old.

The question: how to find out (without much trial and error) which
releases of udev and lvm2 are the best/newest to use with that kernel?

I don't want too much old bugs in the box on one hand while on the other
hand I have to mask pkgs to keep it running.

Maybe one of you has a hint for me.

Thanks in advance, best regards, Stefan

Check to see if you have CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 enabled in kernel.
zgrep CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 /proc/config.gz

Yep, did that today when I was there.

Send email to gentoo-user+unsubscribe@lists.gentoo.org from the
address which you subscribed. (I'm assuming you are subscribed through
gentoo.org and not an alternative service). This process is explained
in the sign-up message you got, and listed in the headers of every
e-mail.

Here's how to unsubscribe:

First, ask your Internet Provider to mail you an Unsubscribing Kit.
Then follow these directions.

The kit will most likely be the standard no-fault type. Depending on
requirements, System A and/or System B can be used. When operating
System A, depress lever and a plastic dalkron unsubscriber will be
dispensed through the slot immediately underneath. When you have
fastened the adhesive lip, attach connection marked by the large "X"
outlet hose. Twist the silver-coloured ring one inch below the
connection point until you feel it lock.

The kit is now ready for use. The Cin-Eliminator is activated by the
small switch on the lip.  When securing, twist the ring back to its
initial condition, so that the two orange lines meet.  Disconnect.
Place the dalkron unsubscriber in the vacuum receptacle to the rear.
Activate by pressing the blue button.

The controls for System B are located on the opposite side. The red
release switch places the Cin-Eliminator into position; it can be
adjusted manually up or down by pressing the blue manual release
button. The opening is self-adjusting. To secure after use, press the
green button, which simultaneously activates the evaporator and
returns the Cin-Eliminator to its storage position.

You may log off if the green exit light is on over the evaporator.  If
the red light is illuminated, one of the Cin-Eliminator requirements
has not been properly implemented. Press the "List Guy" call button on
the right of the evaporator. He will secure all facilities from his
control panel.

To use the Auto-Unsub, first undress and place all your clothes in the
clothes rack. Put on the velcro slippers located in the cabinet
immediately below. Enter the shower, taking the entire kit with
you. On the control panel to your upper right upon entering you will
see a "Shower seal" button. Press to activate. A green light will then
be illuminated immediately below. On the intensity knob, select the
desired setting. Now depress the Auto-Unsub activation lever. Bathe
normally.

The Auto-Unsub will automatically go off after three minutes unless
you activate the "Manual off" override switch by flipping it up. When
you are ready to leave, press the blue "Shower seal" release
button. The door will open and you may leave. Please remove the velcro
slippers and place them in their container.

If you prefer the ultrasonic log-off mode, press the indicated blue
button. When the twin panels open, pull forward by rings A & B. The
knob to the left, just below the blue light, has three settings, low,
medium or high. For normal use, the medium setting is suggested.

After these settings have been made, you can activate the device by
switching to the "ON" position the clearly marked red switch. If
during the unsubscribing operation you wish to change the settings,
place the "manual off" override switch in the "OFF" position. You may
now make the change and repeat the cycle. When the green exit light
goes on, you may log off and have lunch. Please close the door behind
you.
