Hi all - Heinz is unavailable, so I'm sending this out for him: LVM 1.1-rc1 release candidate supports both version 1 and 2 of the metadata. Disclaimer: ----------- This is not meant to be used on production systems! There's *no* need to run any metadata update tools. Please test this release candidate and feed back results to the linux-lvm list in order to help us to release 1.1 ASAP. A tarball is available now at <http://www.sistina.com/> for download (Follow the "LVM 1.1-rc1" link). Changes to LVM 1.1-rc1 include: o volume group quorum support is in enabling optional activation of volume groups (vgchange -qn) in case at least one physical volume out of many is still accessable enabling retrieval of data in logical volumes allocated on the accessable devices o vgimport supports importing by volume group name rather than requiring a physical volume list o creation of metadata backup files in /etc/lvmtab* and metadata archives in /etc/lvmconf/ is now optional to help saving space for eg. on ram disks. If vgscan is not run at all and /etc/lvmtab* are removed, no backup files will be created. If vgcfgbackup is not run at all and /etc/lvmconf/ is removed, no archive files will be created. o locations of metadata backups and archives are configurable through environment varibles LVM_BACKUP_INDEX/LVM_BACKUP_DIR and LVM_ARCHIVE_DIR respectively o volume group static mode in order to avoid all configuration changes to a volume group once set. This is useful to 'freeze' a volume group in order to activate it in a cluster of for fail-over configurations o the llseek cast bug has been fixed, which caused pvmove to fail beyond the 2GB offset o more... See the CHANGELOG file contained in the tarball for further information. Feed back LVM related information to <linux-lvm@sistina.com>. Thanks a lot for your support of LVM. -- AJ Lewis Sistina Software Inc.
