- Add sysfs filter patch
- Allow non-root users to build RPM
Didn't fix the raid 1 problem for me. Unless I manually exclude raid
member devices in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, I get:
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...

This failure mode is particularly bad when your root fs is in such an
LVM device, and you just rebuilt all of your initrd images with the
new, ``fixed´´ lvm binary and without lvm.conf. But even if I run it
after booting from a working-lvm.conf initrd, if I run vgscan on the
running system without lvm.conf, it fails just the same (and it
scarily fails to complete)
Want me to bugzilla this?
