Subject: [PATCH] devfs support for lvm
Message-ID: <20000501145357.A434 at sb.t-online.de>

Hi,
I've adapted lvm to create it's devices files automatically using devfs
(if enabled ...). If you use the vanilla utils nothing changes.

If you use a vgchange that has the code removing and creating the nodes
ifdef'ed out (and don't run vgscan on each boot), you don't have to mount
your root partition rw for lvm.

Christoph
