See vgchange(8). - Sizes can be specified with units now; for example you are able to provide the logical volume size in megabytes, gigabytes and terabytes 8*) - Read ahead sectors now can be chooseen on a per logical volume base with lvcreate(8)/lvchange(8); no global setting with lvmchange(8) any longer - new options s and n for pvscan(8) - /proc/partitions fully supported with kernel 2.2.1 now Additional information on Linux LVM is available at http://linux.msede.com/lvm/ LVM 0.6 is available for download at ftp://linux.msede.com/lvm/v0.6/ Please note that LVM 0.6 is still considered alpha.
