[linux-lvm] using 160GB IDE drives under linux with LVM.

[Kirby C. Bohling]

Why is he brave, it is just a converted 2.4.15-pre5 with a change to the 
version number if I remember correctly that has a filesystem bug when 
you umount during a reboot.  As long as he doesn't reboot and/or umount 
his data is save. :-)
