Yeah, the latest CVS now builds liblvm-10.a instead of just liblvm.a (That was an oversight on my part :( ) > Liblvm.a could not be reduced - the reduction tool was expecting to > find a "PIC archive library" containing "individual shared objects" > with .os suffixes. Hmm...interesting. Which reduction tool is this? I haven't dealt with this before, but it definitely would be worth supporting. > Or are you saying that liblvm-10.a already contains only the minimum > necessary for vgscan and vgchange? If so, is there any potential for > saving initrd space with cut-down versions of vgscan and vgchange? I don't think the current liblvm-10.a does this. I was not aware of a tool that handled this case, but would love to get it to work. :) Regards, --=20 AJ Lewis Sistina Software Inc.
