There are 3 patches that are needed to get dm working in 2.5.45, they can be found here: http://people.sistina.com/~thornber/patches/2.5-stable/2.5.45-dm-1.tar.bz2 One patch was an ommission (vcalloc), one is due to set_device_ro parameters changing in 2.5.44, and the final one fixes a bug due my misunderstanding of the get_gendisk function. - Joe _______________________________________________ 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/
