SV: [linux-lvm] Getting 200GB ATA133 and Promise Ultra133 to work

Yes, I bought Promise Ultra ATA/133 controller thinking this would support
big drives.
One problem is support for LBA48, which 2.4.18 didn't have.

What is the difference between LVM1 and LVM2? Do I have to redo the lvm
using LVM2 to get access to big disc support?

Regards,
