Actually getting the up-to-date lvm in the kernel would be nice.  Last time
I asked 2.4.<x>-ac<y> was about half way there.  What is happening?  Have the cvs
procedures been modified to enable producing Linus friendly patches?  When
can we expect a kernel with a current lvm?

Please read the above as just as a request for info.  LVM is working ok here.
Its just a bit of a pita to have to patch everything every time I rebuild a
tree...
