(see <http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/kernel-patches.html>)
- make [menu|x]config
- official device major numbers
- egcs-1.1.1

Features:

- WARNING: data layer implemented to handle vgexport/vgimport between
different architectures (for eg. Intel/Alpha).

Should there be any != Intel LVM installations out there you have
to backup your LVs, delete them and the VGs and reconfigure them after
upgrading to this LVM version

_or_

you have to ask me for a conversion tool 8*)))

- i/o statistics by lvmsadc(8) and lvmsar(8) (have to be enhanced ;*) )

- e2fsadm(8) to resize LVs and contained unmonuted ;*( ext2 filsystems using
Ted Tso's resize2fs (ask <support@powerquest.com> as a Partition Magic
license owner)

- now pvmove(8) can handle lists of PEs/LEs to be moved

- tools return more exit states then 0 and 1; see corresponding tool manual

Regards,
Heinz
