Unfortunately this doesn't give any significant size drop:
lvm staticly linked with uClibc and device-mapper lib with all features
-rwxr-xr-x 1 misiek users 555815 2004-01-25 21:05 initrd-lvm
lvm staticly linked with uClibc and device-mapper lib using my patch above (so only vgscan and vgchange functions available)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 482428 2004-01-25 20:51 initrd-lvm
How these sizes look with dietlibc?
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 308180 Jan 23 22:14 /sbin/lvm2-static*
Which is still very big, but reducing it will take significantly more work.
Also some problems with lvm way of checking what command user wants based on argv[0] came out:...
[root@arm misiek]# /sbin/initrd-lvm
No such command. Try 'help'.
It would be much better if when argv[0] is not known internally for lvm then work as argv[0] = lvm.
unfortunately it seems done the other way around in lvm.c i found it easier to add possible aliases for lvm in there http://www.comedia.it/~bluca/cooker/lvm2/lvm2-2.00.08-7mdk/lvm2-alternatives.patch.bz2
