It seems so; from lvm2 2.02.93:
DEPEND_COMMON="!!sys-fs/device-mapper
readline? ( sys-libs/readline )
clvm? ( =sys-cluster/dlm-2*
cman? ( =sys-cluster/cman-2* ) )
>=sys-fs/udev-151-r4"
...
econf $(use_enable readline) \
$(use_enable selinux) \
--enable-pkgconfig \
--with-confdir="${EPREFIX}/etc" \
--sbindir="${EPREFIX}/sbin" \
--with-staticdir="${EPREFIX}/sbin" \
--libdir="${EPREFIX}/$(get_libdir)" \
--with-usrlibdir="${EPREFIX}/usr/$(get_libdir)" \
--enable-udev_rules \
--enable-udev_sync \
--with-udevdir="${EPREFIX}/lib/udev/rules.d/" \
${myconf} \
CLDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}" || die
Maybe you could try to modify the LVM ebuild to point udevdir to a
black hole and disable udev_rules and udev_sync. But that would be at
best a hack; I'm not familiar enough with the LVM code to know if they
actually need udev to run, or it only installs some rules so it can
run better with it.
Regards.
