[linux-lvm] Patch needed for kernel 2.4.2 ?

[John Marquart]

Is there a way to configure / install the tools such that they can fall
back to handle IOP 10?  I enjoy helping test new beta code (Great job by
the way - I have yet to have ANY problems w/ the beta versions i have
tested) - but it becomes quite a bit more stressful when the userspace
tools are not backwards compatible.  Am I just overlooking something, or
is there truly no backwards compatibility in IOP11 tools to IOP10 and/or
IOP6?

thanks,
-john
