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"). Andreas
