Someone suggested a code mismatch, but I think differently. If you search Sistina's site for segmentation fault, you get a number of hits about a GCC compiler error regarding optimizations. I had this same problem, but was able to get around it by using the source code modification solution someone posted to Sistina's bugzilla system. Essentially, you add a printf(""); statement to approximately line 42 of lv_create_remove.c which results in un-optimizable code, which results in a usable binary. Hope that's helpful. -- Mitch -----Original Message----- From: linux-lvm-admin@sistina.com [mailto:linux-lvm-admin@sistina.com]On Behalf Of kannan21977@sify.com Sent: Monday, October 15, 2001 4:15 AM To: thornber@sistina.com; linux-lvm@sistina.com Subject: [linux-lvm] vgextend Hi I work for an ISP in India nad am currently trying to get LVM working for us..I use a 2.4.0 kernel.and LVM 1.0.
