Hi all - Heinz is unavailable, so I'm sending this out for him:
LVM 1.1-rc1 release candidate supports both version 1 and 2 of the metadata.
Disclaimer:
-----------
This is not meant to be used on production systems!
There's *no* need to run any metadata update tools.
Please test this release candidate and feed back results to the linux-lvm
list in order to help us to release 1.1 ASAP.
A tarball is available now at
<http://www.sistina.com/>
for download (Follow the "LVM 1.1-rc1" link).
Changes to LVM 1.1-rc1 include:
o volume group quorum support is in enabling optional activation of volume
groups (vgchange -qn) in case at least one physical volume out of many is
still accessable enabling retrieval of data in logical volumes allocated
on the accessable devices
o vgimport supports importing by volume group name rather than requiring
a physical volume list
o creation of metadata backup files in /etc/lvmtab* and metadata archives in
/etc/lvmconf/ is now optional to help saving space for eg. on ram disks.
If vgscan is not run at all and /etc/lvmtab* are removed, no backup files
will be created. If vgcfgbackup is not run at all and /etc/lvmconf/ is
removed, no archive files will be created.
o locations of metadata backups and archives are configurable through
environment varibles LVM_BACKUP_INDEX/LVM_BACKUP_DIR and LVM_ARCHIVE_DIR
respectively
o volume group static mode in order to avoid all configuration changes to a
volume group once set. This is useful to 'freeze' a volume group in order
to activate it in a cluster of for fail-over configurations
o the llseek cast bug has been fixed, which caused pvmove to fail beyond the
2GB offset
o more...
See the CHANGELOG file contained in the tarball for further information.
Feed back LVM related information to <linux-lvm at sistina.com>.
Thanks a lot for your support of LVM.
