You could run Debian :-) Debian unstable allows you to switch seamlessly from LVM1 to LVM2 and back again depending on which kernel you are running. If not then you'll need to patch device-mapper into your 2.4 kernel to allow you to run LVM2 on it. (LVM2 will read the LVM1 metadata) -- patrick _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
