Package: lvm2
Version: 2.01.04-5
Severity: normal

I have following problem with upgrading to v2 of metadata after 
upgrading system to Sarge and thus cannot create snapshots anymore:

# vgconvert -t -v -M2 raid5
  Test mode: Metadata will NOT be updated.
    Using volume group(s) on command line
    Finding volume group "raid5"
    Test mode: Skipping archiving of volume group.
  Physical extents end beyond end of device /dev/md1!
  /dev/md1: Format-specific setup of physical volume failed.
  Failed to setup physical volume "/dev/md1"
    Test mode: Wiping internal cache

# pvdisplay
