 Version 2.02.48 - 
 ===============================
-  Replace use of vg_lock_and_read with vg_read/vg_read_for_update.
   Abort if automatic metadata correction fails when reading VG to update it.
   Explicitly request fallback to default major number in device mapper.
   Ignore suspended devices during repair.
