I have test machine in the lab that I want to experiment with the latest Mantel kernel on. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next Before upgrading the kernel, I had a second disk drive that was setup as a LVM volume. It is no longer being recognized as an LVM volume. The machine boots and runs fine, I just can't access the data I had on that drive. Could someone point me to the appropriate readme / howto that tells me how I should have done this upgrade to maintain access to the LVM volume. To be honest, there is not any data of value out on the LVM volume, so I guess I could just recreate it now, but I would like to better understand the upgrade process.
