nagging about the LVM usage survey
</begin nagging>
Hi,
we've got a LVM Usage Survey up on the web at
http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/lvm_eval.html
Nearly 2568 downloads of LVM have taken
place since , but only about 12 LVM users have actually filled out this survey. So we don't really know what the
other 2556 potential users are doing with LVM :-(
If more LVM users and developers fill these out and tell us what they are doing with LVM, and what their immediate needs are, we can better understand where to go in the future.
We are now starting to define the feature set
for LVM 5.0. So please tell us what you are doing with LVM, and what you want to see
in future releases. Filling out this survey helps us
get more resources to continue development of this free software.
If you have privacy concerns, then make up your name address and email. Also, we won't spam people with stupid sales or marketing pitches.
Thanks
Matt O'Keefe

Why 5.0?

Of course it doesn't work. We've performed a software upgrade.

This looks like a Cut-N-Paste error between the message that was sent out to the LVM and GFS mailing lists (GFS is approaching release of 4.0, so it makes sense that they are "starting to define the feature set for GFS 5.0". That probably should have been cut from the LVM msg :-) )

I think that the immediate needs of most of the people is a working vgextend
It's the most important feature of LVM, and it doesn't work ! Great !

As pointed out on the list everybody is invited to get the actual code from our CVS repository with:
"cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/data/cvs checkout -r LVM_0-9-patches LVM"
It contains the fix you are requesting.
Our 0.9.1 beta release will take place on friday or monday for people who are able to wait.
Thanks for your understanding.

Sorry for the messages, I corrected the bug by myself. I just add a single line on the file lvm.c
I'm using the 2.4.0 kernel.
In file lvm.c
At line 2026, in function lvm_do_vg_extend
Just after the line :
if ( ret != 0 ) return ret;
add :
pv_ptr = vg_ptr->pv[p];
Recompile the kernel and reboot.
Ok It work
