Get the LVM2 tools from www.sistina.com and compile/install them in a different directory (see configure options) if you want to co-install them with the LVM1 tools. > > if i do a stock install, that would first of all be using a > 2.4 kernel and (IIRC) the previous version 1 of LVM, no?

Boot 2.6 and use the LVM2 tools in the directory you selected when you configured them. > > it's easy enough to build and boot under a 2.6 kernel, but > now i have some LVM volume groups that i'd like to convert to > LVM 2. can i do that? See LVM2's vgconvert manual. LVM2 is able to handle LVM1 formated voplume groups in case you want to be able to swictch back to 2.4+LVM1. Of course you can get device-mapper patches for 2.4 from our site and use device-mapper+LVM2 on 2.4 as well. > > am i making any sense? it seems pretty clear that i can't > do all this in one step. or can i, and i just haven't noticed? At least one additional step is necessary (get the LVM2 tools running on 2.6). > > rday > > > _______________________________________________ > 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/ -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
