<para>
The check command must be run as the <systemitem
class="username">root</systemitem> user. Also the tests are known to
hang if at least one partition on a hard drive is not set up as a Linux
LVM partition (type 8e00). To test the results, issue: <command>make
check</command> as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
user.
