It is just the way LVM works. The volumes have to be activated before you can use them, and there is nothing in the kernel that does this for you automatically. For permanently connected disks, gentoo's startup scripts do this for you automatically (see RC_VOLUME_ORDER in /etc/conf.d/rc). You might consider removing LVM from the USB disk, and just using a normal partition table. With this setup, it makes sense to have a udev rule that creates a persistent device node, and it happens automatically. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
