I changed SYSFS_DEPRECATED to y, and it was able to boot with the same old initrd I've been using for a while. Note that I had it set to 'n' for at least the last 4-5 -mm kernels, so it *was* working fine without it.. > > > A fix for LVM to handle symlinks instead of directories is in the LVM > > > CVS tree, but there wasn't a release since August. > > > > I seem to recall it was 'nash' rather than LVM that had the indigestion the > > last time around. > > I think that a recent nash should work, even with SYSFS_DEPRECATED=n. > Anyway, nothing should change when SYSFS_DEPRECATED set, nash works fine > here, with that. It was working fine with =n here until -rc4-mm1 as well, that's why it's a bit of a surprise. What got added to the 'deprecated' list in this iteration? Now for the truly odd part - I just tried with a rebuilt initrd that included the lvm.static from last night's Rawhide (lvm2-2.02.29-1.fc9). And that didn't work any better. So to summarize: (old lvm == 2.02.24) release SYSFS_DEPRECATED lvm2 works -rc3-mm2 N old yes -rc4-mm1 N old no -rc4-mm1 Y old yes -rc4-mm1 N new no (I'm sure looking at that, everybody is now going 'WTF??!?' ;) gregkh-driver-driver-core-fix-class-glue-dir-cleanup-logic.patch and gregkh-driver-block-device.patch are the only patches left in the (very small) bisect window that reference SYSFS_DEPRECATED at all (according to grep) Anybody got any brilliant ideas? :) --==_Exmh_1197051630_3013P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFHWY7ucC3lWbTT17ARAqaWAKDuUACTkOjPdhc/8MsYUYCmmIW2zACgihYh 1LDyFqmjT6mLdHldes8KUP4= =mXXh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1197051630_3013P-- --===============1075464336== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline --===============1075464336==--
