So, if I understand you correctly, your message is that 1.1rc1-2
is stable enough. After reading the changlelog (I should've done
that before) and looking at the list of bugs I tend to agree with
you. There are some bugs that need to be fixed but no one is
fatal nor breaks essential behavior of LVM. Let's see how it will
work in reality.

I meant the source packages for LVM version 1.0.4, but never mind.

Of course you're right but in the meantime I don't have any good
address.
