I have been attempting to apply the device mapper kernel patches to the stock RH9 kernel. Because the base kernel is 2.4.21-pre3, fs/buffer.c (at least) is significantly different from both 2.4.20 and 2.4.21, and adding dm has proven difficult. Is anyone aware of any successful attempts at solving this problem? -- John R. Daily jdaily@xxxxxxxxxxx Director of Technology Progeny Linux Systems Master of the ephemeral epiphany
