[linux-lvm] *** ANNOUNCEMENT *** LVM 0.8final driver included in 2.3.47

[linux-lvm] *** ANNOUNCEMENT *** LVM 0.8final driver included in 2.3.47

[Heinz Mauelshagen]

Logical Volume Driver 0.8final has been included in Linux 2.3.47.

Thanks to Linus and to hundreds on the Web who helped to achive this!


Nevertheless some problems compiling 2.3.47 with LVM enabled arised
because some parts of the patch got lost during inclusion 8.{(

You'll find the necessary patch to fix this at
<ftp://linux.msede.com/lvm/v0.8final/patch-2.3.47-lvm-2>.

The version 0.8final of the user space library and tools can be found at
<ftp://linux.msede.com/lvm/v0.8final/lvm_0.8final.tar.gz> as well.

New features are:
   - support for multiple snapshot logical volumes per original
     logical volume to for eg. enable consistent online backups
     or recovery in filesystems and database systems.

   - sizes for eg. with lvcreate can be entered in fractions now

   - all errors now in plain text rather than numeric

   - variable VGDA backup history depth in /etc/lvmconf supported
     by environment variable LVM_VG_MAX_BACKUPS (see vgcreate(8) and others)

   - automatic backup can be suppressed by environment variable
     LVM_AUTOBACKUP (see vgcreate(8) and others) during bulk creates.
     (the possibility to use option "-A n" with all
      changing commands still exists)

   - enhanced debug tracing (Option -d of the tools) to show call depth

	Great!  2.3.x is almost to the point where it
has all the features I need to use it.  :)  One important
question:
	Is the I/O protocol for 0.8final the same as 0.8i?  
If not, is there a 0.8final for 2.2.x?  Basically, I don't
want to install the 0.8final userspace tools and find
that I can't use 2.2.x anymore.
	And on a completely unrelated note, anyone know
if RAID5 is working in 2.3.x yet?  It blows up everytime
I try it.

No, it had to be changed caused by the snapshot implementation.

Soon.

No it doesn't work so far (the options in Configure.help
are disabled since 2.3.47)

    Any sign of a 0.8final kernel patch for 2.2.x showing up on
the horizon yet?

[A James Lewis]

Does anyone know if MD has also been included in 2.3 and if you can create
LVM's using MD devices?

It's only in with concat and RAID0.
