Thanks.

Another question, is it safe to use LVM 0.9.1b7 on a production
server. Just thought about this because you are speaking about your CVS
version. And because of the postponing of release 1.0 after the kernel
inclusion.

Are there all nessesary patches listed in the appropriate fragments file?
Just ask because I saw you inserted some additional into the CVS version.

And as far as I remeber, there were some additional patches for the
snapshoot feature (needed to be patched manually against the kernel).

Can you tell me which one(s) these are?

Thanks in advance,
Gergely
