 Posted: Wed May 22, 2024 1:02 am Post subject: Removing LVM |
 |
|
I know how stupid this is going to sound.
I've notice long compile times on LVM when I update my Gentoo system. I don't use LVM. I can't imagine there being world-ending consequences if I removed LVM all together, but since it took forever (for me) to get this system the way I want it, I'd like to double check with more knowledgeable people in the Gentoo community before I ruin it. Can anyone tell me if there would be any harm in removing LVM if I don't use it?

I guess you mean LLVM isn't ?
Even so, it is not frequently updated.. As long as you're on stable gentoo, this shouldn't be an issue.
Also it is needed for X, like mesa for example so you don't really want to remove it. |

The help forums are exactly for the purpose of asking questions, so don't worry.
As for the question, I'm guessing you're referring to LLVM and not LVM. In any case,
try to do | Code: | | emerge -av --depclean llvm |
and it will tell you if anything on your system needs it. The command will basically try
to unmerge the ebuild with consideration to dependencies, so if it is indeed not used
by anything it will ask you if you want to unmerge it, otherwise it will say that something
depends on the ebuild. So, before unmerging anything always read what portage says. |
