Hello, device mapper does not compile on my 2.4.x tree, because of an argument incompatibility in set_device_ro(). Please find attached a patch, which makes this file compile. I am not sure if it is correct, since I do not unterstand whats going on here, and have not tested it yet. Please somebody have a look at it since it it broken for multiple releases, yet. BTW: I also suggest to remove the www.sistina.com/lvm/ url from the MAINTAINER file since it does not contain any useful information anymore.
