So, has the metadata also been updated to have a version number field in an easily found location? This is a very unpleasant state of affairs, and it will happen again if you haven't done this. This helps my peace of mind about doing the upgrade. Perhaps now I will do it with confidence that it will work and I'll get the order of operations right. One question I have: Does it hurt for the old drivers to be in the kernel at the time you run the upgrade script if none of the VGs are 'active'? I compiled LVM into my kernel instead of leaving it as a module, so if it were a problem, I'd have to compile a new kernel that didn't have the drivers.
