Presuming that you took backups of your data and metadata (/etc/lvmconf/*) and don't have root on a LV, you just need to install the new LVM software (take LVM 1.0.3!), and run "vgscan;vgchange -ay" after the successfull installation and reboot. "vgscan;vgchange -ay" is probably in your system startup script anyway. To be save, you could copy your LVM 0.8 software to /sbin/lvm-0.8 (tools) and /lib/lvm-0.8 (library) respectively. Make your LVM 0.8 capable kernel bootable too. With these preperations, you still can boot into single user for LVM 0.8 recovery in case something goes wrong. > > > -- > MfG / Regards > Friedrich Lobenstock > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
