tags 422963 +patch thanks [ Apologies for the delay in this - I should have offered this patch a while ago... :-( ] I helped a friend do an upgrade from sarge to etch a few weekends back, and we were bitten by this bug along the way - the first time we rebooted the machine after the kernel upgrade, the system broke; it was unable to mount any of its filesystems that depended on lvm. He has striped LVs using the old LVM1 format, and this bug (#422963) happened. This could potentially leave systems unbootable and difficult to repair after an upgrade. My friend was lucky - his root fs is not on LVM, and I was on hand with my laptop and was able to build a quick backport of the latest upstream LVM code and transfer the newly-built libraries onto the system using a USB key. As this could cause nasty surprises for people updating to etch, I think it's worthwhile backporting the fix from the newer upstream for a stable update. Patch attached doing exactly that. I've tested this to confirm it fixes the bug, and it does. No regressions that I can see either.
