If you find bugs, reports are welcome. As for unsupported use case, it doesn't work if you're booting from the LVM device itself. We already know why this happens, but nobody had time to fix it (help is welcome, I can give more details if desired). Thanks -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call! What good is a phone call… if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.)
