Hi, i'm currently in the process of starting to test the 2.5 linux kernel series, now that the 2.6-pre are around the corner. While i'm at it and having set up a box completely for testing (and trying to break) stuff i thought i might give lvm2 a try (not that i expect it to break :) ). Thus, i got LVM2.2.00.03-rc4.tgz and device-mapper.1.00.02-rc3.tgz of the ftp server. My question is: Is this stuff supposed to work with the 2.5 kernel series or do i have to switch to 2.4 to test lvm2? I know that the device-mapper is included in the 2.5 series, but is it recent enough? Also, are there different (and thus incompatible) versions of either the device mapper and/or the device-mapper-libs around? Trying to compile the above device-mapper after doing configure --with-kernel-dir=/usr/src/linux-2.5.75 i get (using gcc-3.3 from Debian unstable): [snipped other make output] make[1]: Entering directory /root/device-mapper.1.00.02-rc3/lib' gcc -c -Iioctl -I. -I../include -I/usr/src/linux-2.5.75/include -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 -DDM_COMPAT ioctl/libdevmapper.c -o ioctl/libdevmapper.o ioctl/libdevmapper.c:55: error: DM_TABLE_LOAD' undeclared here (not in a function) ioctl/libdevmapper.c:55: error: initializer element is not constant ioctl/libdevmapper.c:55: error: (near initialization for _cmd_data_v4[1].cmd') ioctl/libdevmapper.c:55: error: initializer element is not constant ioctl/libdevmapper.c:55: error: (near initialization for _cmd_data_v4[1].version') ioctl/libdevmapper.c:55: error: initializer element is not constant ioctl/libdevmapper.c:55: error: (near initialization for _cmd_data_v4[1]') ioctl/libdevmapper.c:56: error: initializer element is not constant ioctl/libdevmapper.c:56: error: (near initialization for _cmd_data_v4[2].version') [snipped more "initializer element is not constant" and "SOMETHING_IN_UPPERCASE undeclared here" error messages] ioctl/libdevmapper.c:648: error: structure has no member named event_nr' ioctl/libdevmapper.c: In function _flatten': ioctl/libdevmapper.c:851: error: structure has no member named event_nr' make[1]: *** [ioctl/libdevmapper.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory /root/device-mapper.1.00.02-rc3/lib' make: *** [lib] Error 2 thanks, Nils -- Nils Juergens | nils@muon.de | icq 7090774 Having problems sending big files over the net?
