It does. Either you choose lvm10 and enable lvm-support in your 2.4.18 kernel or you choose lvm20 and enable device-mapper support in your 2.4.21 (probably patched) kernel. In order to get you lvm-stuff to work fast -> use lvm10 and your 2.4.18 kernel. by T�ns -- There is no safe distance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
