[linux-lvm] LVM2 and Kernel 2.5.xx

[linux-lvm] LVM2 and Kernel 2.5.xx

[david]

To anyone who might listen...

I get this error:

lvm.c:1: #error Broken until maintainers will sanitize kdev_t 
handling.
---end error---
Based on a note from Linus about new kdev_t... it looks like 
this is still under construction...

Can someone tell me which 2.5.xx kernel is currently working 
with LVM... so I dont have to download everyone and try each 
one... 

Thanks

The plan is to replace the LVM1 driver with device-mapper very shortly.

As mentioned a couple of days ago on this list, we are working on submitting
the device-mapper code to Linus ASAP. This is supposed to be the replacement for
the LVM1 driver in 2.5 together with the LVM2 tools (which are LVM1 compatible).

We'll continuer to support LVM1 on 2.4.

How will the migration from LVM1 to LVM2 work? Would LVM1 volumes
be easily convertible into LVM2 without data loss?

LVM2 is completely metadata format compatible with LVM1.
IOW: it supports the LVM1 metadata read-write.

The upgrade is a matter of installing the LVM2 and device-mapper
software (properly ;-) and running "vgscan ; vgchange -ay".
