[linux-lvm] device-mapper / LVM2

[kihan]

hello to all,

i'm new on the list, and have some general questions.

i would like to use LVM2 and EVMS with a 2.4.20 kernel.
but both are patching the same files. i resolved the conflicts, but on 
start, i get a failure, that the libdevmapper is not compatible with the 
kernel driver.

so now my question is, if there is any version of "device-mapper", which 
i can use for EVMS and LVM2???
or can i simply upgrade from LVM1 to EVMS, or should i go the way with 
LVM2???

at the moment i'm using 2.4.12 with LVM1, Software-Raid 5, XFS, JFS, IPSec.

thanks for any help,

manfred
