Hi Patrick, I tried with both 2.4.12-ac5 and 2.4.12-ac6 yesterday. Kernel compilation was giving error on alloc_kiovec and free_kiovec in lvm-snap.c. I replaced them with alloc_kiovec_sz and free_kiovec_sz and added one more int pointer in the calls. I am not sure whether that was proper, but I was able to compile the kernel. I was using 2.4.11 VFS-lock patch as u said. But when using snapshot my Machine got hung. I tried 2-3 times with both ac5 and ac6. But all the time the machine got hund and FS got corrupted. What might have I done wrong ? regards, Aman. > >Not the reply you wanted but 2.4.12ac5 is OK with > > the 2.4.11 VFS-lock patch. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
