I'm afraid I won't be testing it any time soon -- I don't have any drives to pair at the moment. As for your comments about dmraid being 'fake', I'm a little confused. From what you say it sounds like this is the hardware RAID that comes with many motherboards. Why is hardware RAID undesirable over

I guess I did mean mdraid, but would you mind explaining the difference (I've never used raid so don't know much about this)? Is dmraid deprecated in favour of mdadm? Yes, I think most Gentoo installs I've done have had some small warnings/error messages somewhere which I've never quite managed to

Unfortunately dmraid is not in any runlevel. I think it is lvm that's starting lvmetad despite use_lvmetad=0 being set in the configuration file. Unfortunately I think I'm just going to have to learn to live with the error message. Thanks, Alex On 25 June 2015 at 10:19, Peter Humphrey wrote: >

2015-06-24 Thread Alex Thorne
I have been getting some lvmetad related errors, some of which can certainly be found on Google, but I haven't had luck fixing them so far. I used to get the following error in /var/log/rc.log /run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory I am not sure why this was happeni
