Owning to user error (ie mine) the VFS lock patch in the 1.0.4 tarball is
incorrect.

If you need to to use snapshots with reiserfs or ext3 please get the VFS lock
patch from the 1.0.3 tarball or from

http://tech.sistina.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/LVM/PATCHES/linux-2.4.18-VFS-lock.patch?rev=1.1

Sorry about that.

So, just to be sure, if I have a system that is running LVM 0.91.beta-7,
I can install LVM 1.0.4 without worries?

I'm running a SuSE 7.2 install, which uses that version of LVM & their
own SuSE-fied kernel rpm, but due to other requirements, I'm going to
need to compile my own kernel from virgin sources.  I'm going to be
building 2.4.18, specifically with the linux-abi (formerly known as
iBCS) patch, and figured I'd update everything with the latest LVM code
while I was at it.  I also remembered that I need the VFS-lock patch,
since I want to do snapshots and we're running ReiserFS.

Anything I need to beware of, before doing this?

Thanks!

Yes you can.

Yes, beware that I screwed up with the VFS lock patch and the wrong one is in
the 1.0.4 tarball - get the right one from here:
