[linux-lvm] Re: LVM 1.0.3 to LVM 1.0.6 upgrade path on a Redhat 8.0 Production System

Thanks for posting my email addy sibby ;) lol

>a) Is this is the LVM mailing list? :)

>>Yes, but you are using a version of LVM that was packaged by Redhat.

"but"? :)

>>If you are desperately needing help, try and ask them.

If i had any money i suppose i might, but i am flat broke and i don't even 
know what i'm going to eat tonight.

>c) I'm asking you ;) lol

I would prefer not to re-install and reconfigure my entire setup on both of 
my systems and use SuSE just to upgrade 1.0.3 to 1.0.6 just because it's 
"packaged" by redhat? And i have no familiarity with SuSE. And would that be 
effected by or effect the EXT3 FS? (Is Redhat's package of that different 
too?). Hmmmm It says sistina when i do a pvcreate and lvm works great it's 
just that i have to extend it's capacity. :) I also noticed someone helping 
someone do a Redhat 7.x lvm upgrade on this list (and the 
instructions/upgrade path was alot more extensive than what the normal lvm 
installation/upgrade path is currently) so i thought i might ask in case 
there are any major differences (thinking that most likely there are as 
there have been many changes to the Redhat distribution already).
