Re: [linux-lvm] LVM

[svetljo <galia@st-peter.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]

does this mean that when you are creating PV's VG's LV's could be created
 with some option in the old format
or we have to use pvversion from lvm-1.0 to convert the PV's to the old 
version
is it neccesary to convert the VG's and LV's and are there any tools
doesn't lvm-1.0.1rc2 defaults to the new version when you create PV's 
VG's LV's

the question is
can we access VG's and LV's created with lvm-1.0.1rc2 with vanila kernel 
with lvm-0.9.1beta2
