You have the choice with it to upgrade your metadata to a more redundant format2 which causes updates to the metadata to be transaction oriented therefore enhancing the online recoverablilty of the LVM system. We still declare LVM2 to be in Beta _because_ it misses the soon to be added feature to online relocate data (pvmove). It is stable and you should give it a try :) > > Best regards > /Tomas > > > > _______________________________________________ > 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.
