I didn't see any pre-built binaries, so I started down the source path, and looks like it needs device-mapper, ok, I started working on that, and it looks like it wants the LVM2 patches to the kernel source...does this sound right? Since I only want the LVM2 tools just for this fix, does sistina build any RPM's or binaries? I'm just short on time right now and going to be a pain if I have start doing kernel patches and everything else too...
