If I recall correctly setting up LVs on Gentoo was a matter of just
compiling support for it in the kernel (Multi-device support (RAID and LVM)
), emerging the lvm-user tools, and then creating the LV's. You are
going to need to add lvm-mod to your modules.autoload if you compile LV
support as a module. The /etc/init.d/checkfs will pickup the LVs you
setup on the system. Should be fairly simple and straight forward.
