Bug#401916: #401916

["Gordon Farquharson" <gordonfarquharson@gmail.com>]

Hi David

Do you know if your patch [1] you posted to #401916 is going to make
it into etch? A few users have been asking about whether it is
possible to use an LVM root partition with an external USB drive on
the Linksys/NSLU2. I haven't tested your patch on the NSLU2, but I do
know that adding a delay before the call to vgchange in
/scripts/local-top/lvm in the initramfs allows the NSLU2 to use an LVM
root partition on a USB disk.

It is not critical because there are other issues with LVM on the
NSLU2, such as the installer runs out of memory when setting up the
LVM partitions, and one needs to recompile the second stage boot
loader to add the rootdelay parameter to the kernel command line.
