I, frankly, won't be upgrading LVM from my 0.9 beta 7 release until something like this exists. The whole concept of needing some extra special process with several steps to do the migration scares the willies out of me. I keep important data on my computer. I have no desire to lose it. LVM should refuse to access VGs that have PVs that have this problem, and there should be a straighforward, single-step migration tool that comes with the release. --=20 "It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no Go= d.
