Not from what little I know. LVM2 can read LVM1 metadata, and convert it to LVM2. I've done this myself too, so I know it works! :) Take a look at vgconvert. The only problem you may have if you convert the metadata is not being able to go back to 2.4 without the patching you mention. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/jY1LInuLMrk7bIwRAr0vAJwNRAfnU2VH2KanHSgQ+tCn4ZAKPACeLZRN oLmkQ4QUsMsTmkwv7fhMoWI= =YNCy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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/
