Hello Patrick, Redhat 7.3 uses kernel 2.4.18-3 . I tryed to patch the kernel with : linux-2.4.18-VFS-lock.patch (located in LVM/1.0.5/PATCHES ) In the README it is mentioned that kernels supplied with RedHat , Mandrake etc are a little different from the kernels supplied bij kernel.org . Since the lvm-1.0.5-2.4.18-3custom.patch worked fine with the "RedHat " kernel i thought the VFS-lock patch also should work. What do you advise me to do ?
