Is there a set of 2.6.x patches somewhere I missed? A late reply, but for the record the userspace device-mapper library should cope fine: you compile it using its local copy of that header. If your kernel was compiled with an older version of it, the library code is designed to fallback at runtime to using a correspondingly older version whenever it reasonably can, or else return errors for features that can't be approximated using the old API. So far, dm_target_msg is only used by multipath code in the unstable device-mapper trees at http://sources.redhat.com/dm/ Alasdair -- agk@xxxxxxxxxx
