It will understand the LVM1 metadata. You don't need to patch your 2.4 kernel to use device-mapper in 2.6, either. They can both peacefully coexist, as long as your boot scripts run the right version of the tools. A somewhat ugly solution is to run both version, since only one of them will do anything anyway. -- Måns Rullgård mru@users.sf.net _______________________________________________ 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/
