Yes, you probably mean the patch from patch-2.4.17 --- linux-2.4.16/drivers/md/lvm-snap.c Mon Nov 12 17:34:20 2001 +++ linux/drivers/md/lvm-snap.c Fri Dec 21 16:40:32 2001 @@ -542,8 +542,6 @@ void lvm_snapshot_release(lv_t * lv) { - int nbhs = KIO_MAX_SECTORS; - if (lv->lv_block_exception) { vfree(lv->lv_block_exception); which seems already to be in LVM-1.0.1.
