2.03.10 is the latest released version of lvm2. So I would have to use the
Git main branch instead?
A bit confusing is that the lvmcache(7) manpage of lvm2 2.03.10 suggests to
create a cachevol as the first option:
$ lvconvert --type cache --cachevol fast vg/main
Should this be adjusted, if cachevols are not yet fully supported in 2.03.10?
How would you proceed to repair this cache? I can recreate it as a cachepool,
but first I need to gain back access to the data, i.e. get into a state where
I can --uncache.
