This directory contains the version 0.6 release of                  26/02/1999
Heinz Mauelshagen's LVM (Logical Volume Manager) for Linux
tested with kernel 2.0.36 and 2.2.2.

Look for newer versions at <http://linux.msede.com/lvm>


It includes all of the support for handling read/write operations on
physical volumes (hard disks, RAID-Systems, magneto optical, etc. and
even multiple devices (MD), see mdadd(8) etc.), creating volume groups
from one or more physical volumes and creating one or more logical volumes
in volume groups.

LVM is free software.

See the file COPYING and COPYING.LIB for copying permission.


See INSTALL for a copy of the installation information as plain ASCII.

See LVM-HOWTO for further information.
