Hi Chris, Nope I am not building it over a SMP machine. I had tried 2.4.12 with 2.4.11-VFS-Lock Patch and everything was fine. Today I had to re-install linux on my machine, then again I tried with 2.4.12-ac5 and 2.4.12-ac6, but after the first lvcreate operation, and other access to LVM through any command or the mounted volume hangs the system, and I have to manually reboot it, after which my FS is totally corrupted. So again, I re-installed Linux on my machine, and built 2.4.12. This time everything worked fine. I had reinstalled Linux fresh on my machine. Compiled everything using gcc-3.0.1. LVM code was from CVS. The only difference was that with 2.4.12 I did not have to do anything. And that with ac5 or ac6, I had to manually convert the free_kiovec and alloc_kiovec calls to free_kiovec_sz and alloc_kiovec_sz with an extra int pointer( in lvm-snap.c ). This was the only difference I had to do during the two kernel compilation. I am not sure about the spinlock debugging thing. Do I try building again with it turned ON , even if I am not using a SMP configuration ? regards, Aman. >>Is this an SMP machine?
