Thanks.  I just found that right before this email.

Not that this is a big problem but maybe a little bug:

$ vgdisplay -A
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I did this after I "vgcreate test_vg  /dev/hda8".   It looks like
"tool/lib/vg_check_active.c" has the same bug as
"tools/lib/lvm_tab_vg_check_exist_all_vg.c".   I think core dump are problems no?

I think this project is important for the Linux people, they just do not know
that a Volume manager is the only way to split up drives and now that drives are
bigger.  Well..

I hope to help by my input so please do not think I am not happy to have acess to
this software and this newgroup.
