Hi > I am using version 2.4.8-12mdk (mandrake) of the kernel. Mandrake 8.1 is going to be coming soon, and when it does come forth, I plan to upgrade. Having LVM running will make the upgrade much less painful! > I think you can have troubles with upgrading to MDK-8.1 if you use lvm-1.0.1 or anything after lvm-0.91beta8 as far i know they are still using the integrated in the kernel lvm-0.91beta2 and they don't wont to upgrade to lvm-1.0 or 1.0.1 so when you boot from the CD the kernel will not see the exiting logical volumes but i think i have read somewhere that lvm-1.0.1 supports both the old and new phisical volumes my advice befor copying anything to the LV ( i mean all the partitions you mean to upgrade : / , /usr ... go through all the documentation and man pages and try to find out whether it's posible to create VG and LV's in the old format ( pre lvm-0.9.1beta8) but i think it's not possible or wait until MDK-8.1 come and then install lvm-1.0.1 > > As we speak, I am downloading this file.
