Please be warned that snapshots will deadlock under load on 2.4.18 kernels due to a bug in the VM syste, 2.4.19-pre8 works fine. pvmove is now the only major feature that LVM2 lacks compared with LVM1. - The LVM2 team (Patrick Caulfield, Alasdair Kergon, Joe Thornber) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
