Ohhhhhh, an out of date readme!  Never seen one of those before!  ;-)

Actually, I thought that was the norm with open source?  

Let me know if you ever find a current readme file somewhere!  (and 
I'll show you an out of date readme when the next release comes out :)

Could be a problem if you're going to try that on a LVM system.
I guess I don't need to tell YOU the importance of backups.  :-)

Let us know what you find out about LVM in the 2.6 kernel(s).
