Hi, As the 2.6.0 is out, it's time for me to see if I can switch to it. What is the procedure and the things to know to switch from a 2.4 LVM1 devfs to a 2.6 LVM2 udev ? I'm using a debian/unstable. I've seen that there was a package lvm2 (2.00.08-3) but the comment contains at the end "requires Linux kernel 2.4.". Does this mean that this package really cannot handle 2.6 kernels ? I've also seen that devfs has been obsoleted by udev. However, I didn't find a udev package for sid nor a kernel option for it (but I've read that it is only in userspace). The udev FAQ (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ) does not mention if I need to install hotplug to have udev working. Do I have to change something in /etc/lvmtab.d and /etc/lvmconf ? It seems that a thing called "device-mapper" is needed, but I couldn't find it in the kernel. Is it CONFIG_DM_IOCTL_V4 ? The "DM" substring makes me think it's that but the comment in "make menuconfig" doesn't say that it's for LVM nor that it's a device mapper. Thanks !
