[linux-lvm] LVM

[svetljo]

Hi

> I am using version 2.4.8-12mdk (mandrake) of the kernel. Mandrake 8.1 is going to be coming soon, and when it does come forth, I plan to upgrade. Having LVM running will make the upgrade much less painful!

I think you can have troubles with upgrading to MDK-8.1 if you use 
 lvm-1.0.1 or anything after lvm-0.91beta8
as far i know they are still using  the integrated in the kernel 
lvm-0.91beta2 and they don't wont to upgrade to lvm-1.0 or 1.0.1  so 
when you boot from the CD the kernel will not  see the exiting logical 
volumes
but i think i have read somewhere that lvm-1.0.1 supports both the old 
and new phisical volumes

my advice befor copying anything to the LV ( i mean all the partitions 
you mean to upgrade : / , /usr  ...
go through all the documentation and man pages and try to find out 
whether it's posible to create VG and LV's in the old format ( pre 
lvm-0.9.1beta8) but i think it's not possible

or wait until MDK-8.1 come and then install lvm-1.0.1
