All that happened is that some functionality in mdadm was moved into lvm2 as |
| 10 |
that was the major user of that functionality. IIRC disk encryption was the |
| 11 |
other user. |

All lvm users here with up to date systems already did this step without |
| 14 |
trouble, so you can proceed as usual. |

As you are modifying some low level vital functionality, the usual precautions |
| 17 |
will apply: ensure that no-one reboots the machine while you are doing this, |
| 18 |
notebook batteries must not die in the middle, no power outages. And do |
| 19 |
everything in a single terminal session. |
