Hi all, In reference to: http://lists.sistina.com/pipermail/linux-lvm/2001-October/009169.html http://lists.sistina.com/pipermail/linux-lvm/2001-October/009171.html I've successfully compiled a kernel, Linux pov 2.4.12-ac3 #10 SMP, with LVM 1.0.1-rc4 (or CVS [are they the same at the moment?]) and made the changes to lvm.c and lvm-snap.c outlined in the messages above. I am *just about* to create some volumes and test the whole setup (first with ext2, then ext3). It is to my understanding, that the modifications to support the private gendisk_head means that the add_gendisk and del_gendisk functions are [now] being used from ./drivers/block/genhd.c. Is this correct? Is everything going to be happy and safe? ;-) You can find the modified files here: http://xaos.homeip.net/lvm/lvm.c http://xaos.homeip.net/lvm/lvm-snap.c -- Benjamin Lee Melbourne, Australia "Always real." http://realthought.net/ Weather outside looks to be 12°C, mostly cloudy. __________________________________________________________________________ If the master dies and the disciple grieves, the lives of both have been wasted.
