LVM1 to LVM2 plans for FC2

[Paul Jakma]

Hi,

I'm just curious, what are the plans for how upgrading to FC2 will 
work for boxes with existing LVM1 volumes?

regards,

Last time I looked LVM2 could handle LVM1 volumes, it might even use the
same on-disk format for newly created volumes (I'm not 100% sure).

It just works, with some help from device-mapper.

LVM2 can handle the LVM1 metadata without any problems.  The big problem
right now is the device nodes needing to change, but I've at least got
an idea for that (unmount the initrd later, fsck against the dev nodes
in the initrd) even if it's not implemented yet or the eventual
solution.  Upgrades via anaconda should be able to handle this far more
simply (they just need to remove the device nodes and remake them)
