[linux-lvm] LVM on Redhat 7.1

[Heinz J . Mauelshagen]

Louis,

since Friday you should better get LVM 1.0.1-rc1 from www.sistina.com,
which *directly* supports the old and new metadata formats and avoids running
an explicit upgrade program.

Looks like you didn't start with a vanilla kernel patching it conforming
to the instructions in the PATCHES/README file contained in the LVM tarball
-or-
generated the LVM module but it is not lodable (compile/module install/
depmod failure).
