Now that in 2.4.0-test12-pre4, lvm 0.9 has replaced 0.8, is it possible
to do a conversion of lvm created physical volumes, volume groups
and logical volumes from 0.8 to 0.9?
Sorry if this is already a FAQ that I just haven't found yet.

on-disk format isn't changed so no conversion is needed. You only
need to upgrade the lvm tools to use the new kernel driver, grab the tools from
http://www.sistina.com.

Andre,
One of my two volume groups, unfortunately the one with
/usr, /var, /opt, and /home, isn't recognized by 0.9's vgscan when
I reboot under 2.4.0-test13-pre4. But since the second volume
group is visible, and you just told meit should be, then I can just
copy volumes over under test13-pre3 and destroy and recreate the
first volume group.
Thanks,

Is it possible you had a snapshot in the volume group when you started
lvm 0.9 the first time? snapshots are not persistent on pre3 so it doesn't make
sense to left them before rebooting the kernel, and maybe lvmtools 0.9 doesn't
cope correctly with non persistent snapshot created by 0.8 driver (trivial to
temporarly workaround, just delete any snapshot volume before using 0.9 lvm :).
