Hi all,

Linux Logical Volume Manager 0.8.1 (this is 0.8final plus patches) and 0.9 are available for download at www.sistina.com.

Please see further information below, test it and help us to make an even better LVM for Linux :-)

Regards,

The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a subsystem for online disk storage management which has become a de-facto standard for storage management under Linux.

LVM 0.8.1 update to 0.8final:
-----------------------------
Supported on:
- Linux 2.2.17
- Linux 2.4.0-test10 (and previous 2.4.0 test kernels)

New features:
- Enhance pvmove(8) to operate on single physical volumes
- Added support for multiple ext2 resize commands via e2fsadm(8)
- Changed device specials to belong to group "disk" to accomodate backup software
- Initial support for DEVFS

Bug Fixes:
- LV on disk metadata offset faults
- Housekeeping for the metadata backup history file
- lvdisplay(8) and pvdisplay(8) option -c and -v handling

LVM 0.9:
--------
Supported on:
- Linux 2.4.0-test10 (and previous 2.4.0 test kernels)

New Features:
- Persistent snapshots for logical volumes
- Resizable snapshot logical volumes
- API to request the usage rate of a snapshot logical volume
- Integration with VFS to consistently mount ReiserFS filesystems on snapshots (VFS patch necessary)
- Physical Volume and Volume Group UUID support

None beside basic devfs support.
Linus needs to consider the patch for integration.
