Naming the packages after the protocol would be a good idea if the protocol
numbers were known. With raidtools/raidtools2 there is little confusion.
Naming a package lvm6 would not make things easier (even I am not sure yet
which version is which!).
I have packages of 0.8.1 and 0.9 under development. 0.9 seems to be for a
newer version of lvm than is in the 2.4.0-test10 kernel.
0.8.1 doesn't work correctly, it does not automatically update /etc/lvmtab.d
or create backups of the configuration which seems to be necessary. I am
still playing with it.
Also lvm doesn't seem to be designed to work with devfs, I use devfs
exclusively so I'll try and get it going for devfs and for old style /dev.
Any input from other Debian or offers to test this would be appreciated.
