Do you disagree? It depends if users want snapshotting support. If not, then there's no need for lvm10. If users do want snapshotting support, then we're left with a few options: - support choosing lvm10. - get a more complete device-mapper patch into the debian 2.4 kernel (current debian 2.4 only includes a subset of the device-mapper patch). This is something I'd push for with whomever Herbert hands the kernel over to. For 2.6, snapshotting is not an option yet. - get a more complete dm patch into the debian 2.4 kernel, and include the experimental 2.6 dm patch that includes snapshot support. Not recommended.
