Or does EVMS work on 2.5 instead?
I'll say this yet again:
Heinz Mauelshagen is maintaining LVM1.0.x on 2.4 kernels. This is for bug fixes only, no new features will be added.
Alasdair Kergon, Patrick Caulfield and myself are working on the more generic device-mapper driver for both 2.4/2.5. Initially we have concentrated on 2.4, this driver is now very stable IMO (I would certainly trust my data to it in preference to LVM1).
I will post a URL to the 2.5 patch at some point this week.
There is no intention to maintain the broken design that is LVM1 in the 2.5 series - we do not have the spare resources to waste.
