lvm2 on big endian ach like PPC and others.
Hi everyone, I have an important announcement for CRUX PPC folks, could someone forwarded this onto the correct PPC mailing list. Any one in here on PPC using LVM2 I have an important announcement? Versions 2.02.75 to 2.02.83 inclusive calculated metadata checksums incorrectly on big endian archs. 2.02.84 corrects this, metadata created with those versions can't be read on little endian archs or on earlier or later versions. Workaround for folk affected is to make sure their metadata backups are up-to-date before upgrading to 2.02.84 then after the upgrade restore the metadata from backup. Quoted from agk in #lvm2 I'm not a dev on lvm2 but I am close to the lvm2 devalopment if you got any suggestions let me know. Regards, <Romster> Danny Rawlins

hallo Danny, thanks a lot for your advise as the bugged release is present with CRUX PPC 2.7 release candidate! I now noticed that 2.02.83 sources were already removed in favour of a fixed 2.02.84 . cheers, - --nico - -- GNU/Linux on Power Architecture CRUX PPC - http://cruxppc.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk1Sz6kACgkQxq34tDeO7LjCJQCgkGasBXLktdl5O4tEC0yxlGMu tCYAn1yI3HTvUTJ6c99WzEj+SOW/AQ8R =tl1I -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
