What's missing is support in the configuration system: the ability to declare a LVM mapped device in the OS configuration and expect 'guix system init', 'guix system reconfigure' etc to work. LVM 2.03 simplifies things a bit, but I don't know of any recent attempts to add LVM support to the configuration system. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAl6wPnkACgkQoqBt8qM6 VPqaEgf/T/ZGL+//74eHpDzyMo0GA4G7r30kz6WZY5QTSqYwfyZGagcCqsS2NM1S oPoflib6Ef9KwW9DrElZbWb9Unwb0TpWIbhLsfdV2qOp4F9ueI+TOxODKhKnLWLP 2LUqS9afPvLFFXfD+so0207k/bKRiC+2M69410GHYcI/OkoGJ9Nwvb+SfB5Cq8wE NBPJrKW6Q/XDeZsjy/pHR/o5IuWg9fPucPewZ2Qyooy7GEtJcm9TpwYWIhzLVhPf tXvCBBTwyYJ3GV0nyc6g3BPAx4nlDbqleL1laCjcwQl8m8gYh3EsEJA6SygnqyDE s88kFtFUhbd0BW6+JFesZLDt0O18KA== =1jhw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
