Subject: lvm backwards compatability

Did backwards compatability with old LVM metadata break intentionally
in 2.6.19 ?  I have a volume that mounts just fine in 2.6.18,
but moving to 2.6.19 gets me this..

  Huge memory allocation (size 2392064020) rejected - metadata corruption?
  Out of memory.  Requested 2392064020 bytes.
  Failed to read extents from /dev/sdb

  Volume group "vg01" not found
  2 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active

This volume was created a few years ago, (circa Fedora Core 2).
