That was my thought but wanted to make sure. Looking good so far with my distribution. I'm about ready to migrate at least one cloud server over to the OpenStack (CloudServers 2.0 or whatever it's called now) so I can check to see how Holland works on a fresh install, though I doubt it'll be an issue. Even so, I'll test that here soon. Our Rackspace managed servers are still Red-Hat, but I can try these on our development DBs (which are using LVM) so long as MBU won't complain loudly.

Otherwise, dpkg silently leaves the user's changes in place (if user modifications have been made) or silently updates the config file (if the user has not made changes, and the new package config file differs).

I don't have LVM setup on any of the Ubuntu boxes I use so I am not easily able to test that at this very moment. Also, I noticed that the install process did not ask me to replace /etc/holland/holland.conf which I found odd. I did ask me about replacing /etc/holland/providers/mysqldump.conf. My /etc/holland/holland.conf is the same version I had before. Not sure if this was by design or a potential issue so thought I would mention it.

This avoids cases where innodb data or log files files are on separate volumes from the datadir and we cannot guarantee a consistent backup.  'force-innodb-backup' can be enabled to ignore this check.
