To tell some tools to use the old LVM1 format of metadata, you need -M1. (Most tools work it out for themselves, but some, like vgcreate & vgcfgrestore still need to be told). You can change the default choice for all tools back to the LVM1 format in the config file with: global { format = "lvm1" } Alasdair -- agk@uk.sistina.com _______________________________________________ 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/
