Greetings EVMS Users,

The second pre-release for the EVMS 2.2.0 package is now available at:
http://evms.sourceforge.net/patches/2.2.0/prerelease/
This release is supported on 2.4.19 through 2.4.22 kernels, as well as
2.6.0-test8.

As this is a pre-release, there may still be some small bugs to work out, but
we'd greatly appreciate any EVMS users who would like to help with testing
this new package. Our goal is to have a final release ready by the end of
this month.

The RAID-1 failure handling is working well in most cases. In addition, the
RAID-5 failure handling should be working on 2.4 kernels. However, there are
still a couple bugs we are working on with RAID-5 on 2.6 kernels. If you are
using RAID-5 on 2.6, it would be best to wait for the next pre-release
(probably this weekend).

Online move support is available for certain plugins. Moving segments (owned
by the DOS, GPT, or s390 plugins) can now be performed online, as can
object-replace. PE and PV moves in the LVM plugin must still be performed
with the volume unmounted. Online move support for the LVM plugin should be
available in a future release.

An experimental version of the Device-Mapper snapshot module is now available
for 2.6 kernels. However, the VFS-lock patch has not yet been ported to 2.6.
Thus, you won't yet be able to take clean snapshots of mounted journalled
filesystems on 2.6. A version of the VFS-lock patch for 2.6 should be
available in the near future.

The sample init-ramdisk image has been updated for 2.2.0-pre2, and is
available in the above location along with the -pre2 package.

Please see the INSTALL and README files in the 2.2.0-pre2 package for
installation instructions and other notes. If you have any questions or find
any bugs, please send an email to the EVMS mailing list
(evms-devel@lists.sf.net) or visit our IRC channel (irc.freenode.net, #evms).
