Upgrade path
Hello,
I am currently using LVM driver version 0.9.1_beta6 with a 2.2.19 kernel. I am planning to upgrade to kernel version 2.4.6 or maybe 2.4.7-pre6. What LVM version should I compile into the kernel? Should I stay with 0.9.1_beta6 or jump up to 0.9.1_beta7? I did extend a logical volume using 0.9.1_beta6 if that makes any difference.

If you can wait for LVM 0.9.1 Beta 8, you should. We are just some days away from that release (hopefully ;-)
FYI: LVM 0.9.1 Beta6/7 have a misalignment bug which causes errors when using
snapshots on such misaligned PVs.

No, it doesn't.

Whatever happened to the 1.0 release? I haven't seen anything on the LVM lists explains what the current holdups and new timeframe are.

I announced the holdup caused by the misalignment bugs we found. We'll need to release another Beta ASAP to get test feedback on that.

I saw that, but there seems to have been a consensus on a fix for that for over a week now already.

Fixing it isn't the problem, ensuring people with existing VG's can use the new driver/tools *is* the problem. The pe positions weren't being stored in the metadata before beta8 :( So we have to upgrade peoples VG's. I understand that Heinz has written the upgrade tool, but I'm not sure how much testing he wants before we release.

Every Sistina LVM team member needs to test, that up-/downgrades work propperly before we release. The regular tests need to be run as well.
