Look through the linux-lvm mailing list archives for the message with the subject line "[linux-lvm] Clarification concerning the status of LVM and 2.= 4". This attempts to explain what is currently going on with LVM and the 2.4.x linux kernel > Is there a way to "downpatch" the kernel to lvm0.8 ??? > or better: > can I convert the volume to 0.9 without data-loss ??? If you are truly worried about your data, stay with 0.8final and do not upgrade your kernel for the moment. The LVM team is evaluating the release= of a 0.8final backpatch for 2.4.0, but we obviously want to test this before we release it to folks like yourselves that have data they don't want to lose.= =20 > Thanx in advance ...

We cannot in any way, shape, or form guarantee the integrity of your data. = If you choose run without backup, that is up to you. Regards, --=20 AJ Lewis Sistina Software Inc.
