[Evms-announce] EVMS Release 2.4.1

The EVMS team is announcing the 2.4.1 release of the Enterprise Volume  
Management System. This is the first maintenance release in the EVMS 2.4.x 
series, and is primarily intended to fix some recent bug-reports, as well as 
to update to the most recent kernel and Device-Mapper releases. The source 
code package and sample init-ramdisk image for 2.4.1 are now available for 
download at the project web site:

http://evms.sourceforge.net/

EVMS 2.4.1 is supported on 2.6.9 and 2.4.21 through 2.4.27 kernels.

Please see the INSTALL and README files in the 2.4.1 package for 
installation instructions and other notes. I mean it. Really. There are 
important notes about the new features that you need to read if you're going 
to use them.

Users with BBR segments: Please see the README file for information about an 
update to the BBR metadata.

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).
