[Evms-announce] EVMS Release 2.0.1

The EVMS team is announcing the first bug-fix release in the Enterprise Volume 
Management System 2.0 series. Package 2.0.1 is now available for download at 
the project web site:

http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/evms

This release is for the new EVMS design, which is based on user-space volume 
discovery and communication with existing kernel drivers, such as 
MD/Software-RAID and Device-Mapper.

Please see the INSTALL file in the 2.0.1 package for information about 
installing and getting started with the new EVMS. Since this new design is 
based on user-space discovery, there will no longer be boot-time volume 
activation. Please see the INSTALL file for information about how to activate 
your volumes using the EVMS user-interfaces and utilities. The INSTALL file 
also contains instructions for how users may easily "upgrade" an existing 2.4 
kernel with Device-Mapper and EVMS 2.0.0 patches.

Please see the README file in the 2.0.1 package for more detailed notes 
concerning this release.

EVMS 2.0.1 is supported on 2.4.20, 2.4.19, and 2.5.68 kernels. 

If you have any questions, find any bugs, or simply want to report success 
stories, please send email to the EVMS mailing list ([email protected]) 
or visit the EVMS IRC channel (irc.freenode.net, #evms).
