Bug#315339: lvm2: Lvm2 not working with v1 - can be fixed by upgrading to v2

[Michael Geddes]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.01.12-1
Followup-For: Bug #315339

I know this seems to be a resolved bug, but an alternate work-around (given that
it renders a system unbootable) is to use a boot-disk (like ubuntu live)
to upgrade the lvm to version 2.

Is there some way of black-listing that version? Or is that already
done?

Anyway given that I've now recovered my system, and the upgrade process to V2 was
painless, and I've read a bit about recovering LVMs, I'm actually
quite impressed with the whole LVM system.  It was just one of those
days for me.
