I don't know whether the SuSE kernel has the VFS lock patch applied or not - if not then one for 2.4.19 is available in the LVM 1.0.6 source package. The patch is agains the Linus kernel so whether it will apply to the SuSE kernel is something you'll have to find out for yourself I'm afraid ! patrick _______________________________________________ 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/
