svetljo, I think I've done what you are trying to do. Starting with Mandrake 8.1b1: kernel 2.4.9 patch-2.4.9-xfs-2001-08-26 lvm-1.0.1-rc2 xfsprogs-1.3.5 Apply xfs patch before doing make in lvm. Configure lvmtools with --enable-static_link /dev/md/0 is RAID0 over three partitions - hda1, sda1, sdb1 pvcreate /dev/md/0 vgcreate vg /dev/md/0 lvcreate -s 4G -n root vg mkfs -t xfs /dev/vg/root mount /dev/vg/root /mnt No errors. If this same sequence of commands produces errors on your system, then I would suspect something other than md, lvm, or xfs. Unless you really have a need to run both, I would not patch both XFS and JFS into the same kernel. I also would not use modules for any filesystems that I expect to use daily.
