Re: 2.6 LVM problem



Did you see the LVM 2 faq?
http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/lvm2faq.html.

I learned the hard way, that it is not a good idea to convert your meta
data format from lvm1 to 2 till you can boot with at least 1 good kernel
with lvm2 support.  It is always best to only change one thing at a
time, but I thought it was more trouble than it was worth getting 2.4
going with lvm2 support, especially since lvm2 is backwards compatible.

Other than that it was pretty easy, install 2.6.5 with device mapper
support.  Install lvm2.  Boot, fix fstab to new mount points.  Reboot.
I hit a bug (now fixed) that caused the lvm script to fail.
