devfs
It appears that devfs is not supported in LVM at this time (but I can't be certain because I haven't got it going properly yet). What are the plans for devfs support?
I would like to get support for Devfs and LVM into a set of install disks for the Debian distribution of Linux in the near future...
Please let me know what the desired functionality is in this regard and I'll start coding next week.

this is not exact, there is some devfs support in lvm 0.9, or 0.8 in kernels >= 2.4.0-test8, but it does not work!!!
i had to patch the lvm tools so they don't remove the /dev/<vgname> directory
also from my brief testing it seems that devfs tries to create the /dev/vg/group node when activating the vg (while this should be done during vgscan), but does not create the lv defice files.

Right - you have to apply _two_ patches for the userlevel.
I had a system running devfs and LVM for a while but than switched back to traditional /dev for other reasons.

Of course it doesn't work. We've performed a software upgrade.

THere is initial DEVFS support in LVM right now, and Heinz is working on full DEVFS support for the next release.
