[linux-lvm] Release of LVM 1.0.1 into mainstream kernel...

[linux-lvm] Release of LVM 1.0.1 into mainstream kernel...

[Sarwer Zafiruddin]

Hello,

I know this question has probably been answered hundreds of times, but
I'll go ahead and ask it again.... :-)  When will LVM 1.0.1 will become
part of the mainstream kernel?  I'm kinda holding my breath on installing
LVM on a production system un-till it is supported in the mainstream Linus
kernel.  *keeping my hopes that I will find it in 2.4.11* ;-) 

Thanks,
Sarwer

Whenever Linus decides to encorporate the changes.  we can only submit the
changes (which we are doing through Alan Cox at the moment).  The AC series
is much more up-to-date.  We're hoping the changes get into the mainstream
kernel soon as well.  :)

I've started submitting a few patches here and there to Linus, and he has
generally accepted them.  By no means am I making a concerted effort to
get the Linus kernel up-to-date, but if an issue comes up, I submit a patch
which tries to bring the Linus kernel in-line with what is in CVS.

Cheers, Andreas

Linus has been focusing on the VM and blkdev changes recently, it seems now
that 2.4.11pre1 is out, the merging will start again.  I'd suggest testing
2.4.11pre1 as hard as you can.  There are fundamental changes in there that
really need testing.

Once you are sure it is working correctly, ask both alan and linus what
their timetable is for updating.
