I am trying to package lvm2 as a prerequisite for cryptsetup. Most tests
fail with:
## teardown.../dev/mapper/control: open failed: Permission denied
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
Command failed
and
mknod: '/tmp/nix-build-
lvm-2.02.98.drv-0/LVM2.2.02.98/test/LVMTEST9148.yiDcLm67OP/dev/testnull':
Operation not permitted
mknod failed
I suspect one needs to be root to run the tests instead of a build user. Do
you see a way of carrying out the tests?
Another question: Should we use the name "lvm" or "lvm2"? I am not a fan of
version numbers being used inside the name of a package, but the official
name appears to be "lvm2" (used in a non-consistent way; the mailing list
is called "linux-lvm").

No. I think it’s fine to skip the test suite in such cases. I suspect
the only workaround is to run the test suite manually on your machine.

I would stick to the upstream name, so apparently “lvm2” in this case.
