Hi Brem

So, does it work successfully? I made some testing before I submitted it
to the list and AFAIK i found no errors.

What do you mean exactly with "some CLVM strange behaviours"? Could you
be more specific?

I'm not subscribed to linux-lvm, please keep us informed through this
list.

Thanks in advance. Cheers,

Rafael
