I'm getting ready to do a complete system reconfig due to the addition
of an extra 120 gig hd and I am planning on using LVM for all execpt
/boot, swap and /root which are going to be primary partitions.

What I need are links to the relavant docs involving setting it up in
Gentoo instead of Redhat.

Thanks for the assist

LVMs are LVMs whether they are on Red Hat or Gentoo.

Main Reason is the fact that Gentoo doesn't use RPM's nor does it always
work the same way as Redhat. No run levels for example.

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.

Since I'm looking for documentation involving setting up either lvm/evms
in Gentoo, I would appreaciate Gentoo specific docs instead of Redhat
Specific since there are major diffs between the two distros. The Redhat
docs I've seen are very specific to RH, starting from installation of a
server under RH and they do not cover what I'm looking for which is why
I asked for Gentoo Specific if known.

What I plan on doing is a full rebuild from stage 1 and incorporating
logical volume management from the beginning.

Gentoo-specific documentation on LVM can be found at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm.xml. However the other posters are
basically correct - LVM on Gentoo is the same as LVM on
Redhat/Mandrake/SUSE/distro-of-your-choice. Note that Gentoo's boot scripts
handle LVM, no do not need to modify them.
