[linux-lvm] LVM 0.9.1 beta 7 & CVS differences ?

[linux-lvm] LVM 0.9.1 beta 7 & CVS differences ?

[Bas]

Hi,

I'm using an XFS enabled 2.4.6 kernel. It used to run with 0.9.1 beta 6, and
could be upgraded to 0.9.1 beta 7. LVM is not compiled as a module, it's in
the kernel.

I applied the CVS patch today (after the Oops ... message), and tried to
boot using a newly generated initrd. Now it can't seem to find my volume
group. Whenever I start using my old LVM kernel, it can read my VG and all
assiocated LV's. When I run the new tools on my old kernel, it says

lsvg -- ERROR: VGDA in kernel and lvmtab are NOT consistent; please run
vgscan. Whenever I run vgscan, I end up with an empty /etc/lvmtab.d and an
empty  /etc/lvmtab, but it doesn't change anything.

pvscan returns:
[bigdude]#pvscan -u
pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- ERROR "pv_read(): LVM structure version" reading physical volumes

I recompiled the 0.9.1 beta 7 tools, and it returns:
pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2" of VG
"rootvg" [8.45 GB / 3.89 GB free]
pvscan -- total: 1 [8.45 GB] / in use: 1 [8.45 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0]

Is there some kind of migration tool ?

Thanks,
Bas.

Migration tool has been written (pvversion), and is being tested at
the moment.  Please roll back to beta7 tools until we're sure it's correct.
