I distinctly remember whoever was working on it a few months ago stating
that this was fixed. Never got around to seriously play with it myself
though, I had an LFS partition on a USB drive which Just Worked but I
didn't do much more than running a bunch of benchmarks.

I'm sure he'll read this thread at some point ;)

Good idea, I don't have a spare drive to mess with right now ( Murphy's
law - when I have a spare drive I don't think of playing with LFS )

have fun
