Re: Lvm, RHLE 2.1 and 3

The LVM in the RHAS 2.1 kernel is out-of-date and fails some operations
(notably lvextend).  It is also not supported by RedHat.  I believe that
RHAS 3.0 will support LVM1.  I highly doubt that moving to LVM as part
of an upgrade is or can be supported.   When I migrated my RedHat 7.3
systems to LVM in 2001, I had to do some fancy work using the NetRAID
card and boot CD's to get everything migrated.  Your best bet is to
install a clean RHAS 3.0 then restore your data from backup or a
secondary disk image.
