Since i want to run with ext3 and use snapshots, i applied the linux-2.4.18-VFS-lock.patch to my default 2.4.18 kernel. I just did that file since making the patches, and applying that would fail during compilation. (something about md driver ?, which i dont use) So, after just getting the VFS-lock patch to work, i've tried to use it on my debian woody, with lvm-common 1.5.5 lvm10 1.0.4-4 installed. But i get alot of errors :/ lvm -- lvm_chr_ioctl: unknown command 0x8004fe97 lvm -- lvm_chr_ioctl: unknown command 0x8004fe97 lvm -- lvm_chr_ioctl: unknown command 0x8004fe97 lvm -- lvm_chr_ioctl: unknown command 0x8004fe97 And sometimes vgscan cant find my VG, and i cant activate it with vgchange -a y ... It _MIGHT_ be because i'm running lvm ontop of a loop-AES, but it does work most of the time. JonB ps: right now i'm starting all over with 2.4.19 lvm_1.1-rc2.tar.gz and removing those debian packages. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
