OK, I was looking through the journal output and I think the key to the lvm's not activating is the following: 4 12:54:57 ccs systemd[1]: Got notification message for unit systemd-journald.service 4 12:54:57 ccs systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Got notification message from PID 1750 (WATCHDOG=3D1...) 4 12:54:57 ccs systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: got WATCHDOG=3D1 4 12:54:57 ccs systemd[1]: Received SIGCHLD from PID 2603 (lvm). 4 12:54:57 ccs systemd[1]: Child 2602 (lvm) died (code=3Dexited, status=3D5/NOTINSSTALLED) 4 12:54:57 ccs systemd[1]: Child 2603 (lvm) died (code=3Dexited, status=3D5/NOTINSSTALLED) 4 12:54:57 ccs systemd[1]: Child 2610 (lvm) died (code=3Dexited, status=3D5/NOTINSSTALLED) 4 12:54:57 ccs systemd[1]: Job dev-mapper-linux\x2d\x2dfiles\x2dportage.device/start timed out. So what is not installed? Also, for the first two lines, I get hundreds of thatpair of lines, how can I prevent such. So, between the lvm problem and the udev renaming my eth0 devices these are the key as to why things are going wrong -- with openrc udev is not renaming eth0 at all. --=20 Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici covici@ccs.covici.com
