Navigate to whatever directory contains "linux-2.4.19-devmapper-ioctl.patch" on your system (likely /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/device-mapper). Uudecode and unzip the patch attached (inline) - you will then want to patch your devmapper patch file by running: "patch -p0 < linux-2.4.19-devmapper-ioctl-patch.patch" Make a copy of your linux-2.4.19-devmapper-ioctl.patch first so you can do a before and after diff - the net result should be the deletion of several lines following "BH_Inode" and the changing of a few line count numbers above to compensate. Now both devmapper and the XFS patches will apply cleanly. Do the XFS patches first. begin 644 linux-2.4.19-devmapper-ioctl-patch.patch.bz2 M0EIH.3%!629366D)1^4``&M?@`(P0'__^'1US(J_]]_@0`(57-E;:"40@)M) M/!-":/48@,30R&FGH02IHT*>C%)^E-'J&F0`!H``&AS``3``$P`````$HD-` MD]E";4PU#T!#"80Q#&DQ72Q:-8G@7O!HA4W1"R_*W)WQB1?91$8E6'?-^G!L MW"9L1CZ\F5V(I#=;E"'?'62X+X707/GEOOHJJ5JJYHW0JZI8NE'&@2=HVRNG M.BMU;%\]:7)5/9SW8.28V@R[13%G0<HHFA4I"QB"ZH<-K[%TX^T\PE3("S.% M%+!&!!$$YTA]):Q)Q*@;9B$]PEK9N<'9RK2&8'(IL%-8\&!2?*C85H#X\8AZ M0JH-"42_),2R#(EA&Z$2;6]TY[A<$0G,A08KF*U7Q)7+"Q`C$)R-F%(591GV M`4`][,R_-:'P(WB&QGCF<^)BZ]>G<AQX\K_+TVMZI(%)SHF_EOB.>I(_>:0D M<UD,1_+M%52M&8HSUD*4!<X\S/+!A&4"(.X"3VD/B\\ME7-<K:4&,<6+6LDO MX-C@&E&!P]S@4%G",N!E*6&U,"JUXXB&!]KVBI@8#IK00/$)J2,?(VZBT*+- M5&@K1V&$%S0&5"-<`F/SEB""4H&[6W')[T&&45ZC+9IW$54#)JNC>*F+(8DN MK2"NE+%#LBYP/@HD6VP=9[V&R%%3[Y\L-.+1*F+I)?0UY'`J$RY`=597DH&$ BB!*^R,W@TAK?"3528P1:E2R19889,O^+N2*<*$@TA*/R@``` _______________________________________________ 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/
