The EVMS team is announcing the next development release of the Enterprise
Volume Management System, which will eventually become EVMS 2.0. Package
1.1.0-pre1 is now available for download at the project web site:
http://www.sf.net/projects/evms
As this package is just a pre-releaes, only the source tarball is available
for download. RPM files will be available when 1.1.0 is released.
Also, please use the appropriate level of caution when using this version!
There are several very new features which have not yet undergone extensive
testing! In other words, you probably shouldn't run this version on any
critical systems.
Please report any problems or bugs to the EVMS mailing list:
[email protected].
