*,

I am in the process of upgrading my Gentoo system and all that is stgill
to be done is LVM2

My current install is the following

host ~ # lvm version
  LVM version:     2.01.09 (2005-04-04)
  Library version: 1.01.00-ioctl (2005-01-17)
  Driver version:  4.4.0
host ~ # df -k
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md2               1003932     64952    938980   7% /

/dev/vg/home           4194172   3041392   1152780  73% /home
none                    248632         0    248632   0% /dev/shm
host ~ # 


The latest Gentoo version for LVM2 is

host ~ # emerge -p lvm2

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.10-r1 [1.01.00] USE="(-selinux)" 
[ebuild     U ] sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.06 [2.01.09] USE="-clvm% -cman% -gulm% -nolvm1% -nomirrors% -nosnapshots% (-selinux)" 
host ~ # 

Are there any problems i could expect when upgrading? 
Especially in the volume names or in the mapping of volume name to device
name for /etc/fstab.

Thanks in advance
