Hi,

I've Mandrake 7.2 with LVM 0.9.1-beta7 installed on one volume group. My logical volumes are reiserfs formatted. Upgrading to Mandrake 8.0 fails because the standard upgrade program doesn't recognize my volume group very well. Has someone succeeded in upgrading ?

Thanks,

Diederick

Have you actually used mandrake 8.0 already?

Unless you have some good reason to do so, ie not mere upgrade-fever, stay with 7.2

Believe me... 8.0 is still "cooker" they just *had* to release it for wider testing...

But LVM-wise, I havn't a clue that would help you do the upgrade. However, I did try going from 7.1 to 7.2 and it broke BADLY!

Best bet is to reinstall not upgrade.

Mandrake 8.0 release is out ! I'm using the official Mandrake 8.0 download as iso image from a mirror.

I've upgrade my 8.0 in Lvm 0.9.1-beta 7 because it work better but this is for test. This release of lvm recognize the lvm create with the lvm of Mandrake. But I'm not using lvm on this machine. I will test this evening on my server (upgrade Mandrake 7.2 with kernel 2.4.4 to 8.0 with the same kernel).
