Hi I patched "LVM 1.0.5" against kernel 2.4.9-34 for RH7.2 as follows; 1.Replace files "KERNEL_DIR/drivers/md/lvm.c,lvm-fs.c,lvm-internal.h,lvm-snap.c; KERNEL_DIR/include/linux/lvm.h". with these files in lvm_1.0.5.tar.gz "LVM/1.0.5/kernel/lvm.c,lvm-fs.c,lvm-internal.h,lvm-snap.c,lvm.h" 2.Modify lvm-snap.c as following; Add "int nbhs = KIO_MAX_SECTORS;" in the begining of both functions "lvm_snapshot_alloc()" and "lvm_snapshot_release()" then changes alloc_kiovec(1, &lv_snap->lv_iobuf), free_kiovec(1, &lv_snap->lv_COW_table_iobuf) to alloc_kiovec_sz(1, &lv_snap->lv_iobuf, &nbhs), free_kiovec_sz(1, &lv_snap->lv_COW_table_iobuf, &nbhs) . 3. Apply LVM/1.0.5/PATCHES/linux-2.4.9-VFS-lock.patch like this; cd KERNEL_DIR/ patch -p1 < LVM_DIR/LVM/1.0.5/PATCHES/linux-2.4.9-VFS-lock.patch 4. Add in KERNEL_DIR/fs/super.c "static DECLARE_MUTEX(mount_sem);" 5. Make KERNEL It seems to me that patch applied well and LVM worked. ---- Young Ui Park _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
