2.4.18 machines:
# cat /proc/lvm/global
LVM module LVM version 1.0.1-rc4(ish)(03/10/2001)
2.4.20 machines:
# cat /proc/lvm/global
LVM module LVM version 1.0.5+(22/07/2002)

I can't see anything about device major/minor nos. in /proc/swaps:
# cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/vg1/swap partition 1048568 0 -1
Of course I can see the major/minor nos. if I list the device:
# ls -l /dev/vg1/swap
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 58, 1 Apr 5 22:28 /dev/vg1/swap
So now I need to check if these are the same as when the device was
swapped on. But no info in /proc/swaps...
