I've not tried this kernel, but assuming it contains BLKGETSIZE64
you'll need to compile LVM2 against newer glibc kernel headers
(e.g. update the package for your linux distribution or symlink /usr/include/linux to include/linux in your -ac tree)


Yes excellent - this worked for me with the 2.4.20 kernel
ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux
and lvm2 tools will now compile without the "device/dev-io.c:215: `BLKGETSIZE64'"
error.
Thanks very much, now back to seeing if LVM2 will help me recover my 2 remaining
LV from a a 4xLV VG.

i was having the same issue. linking to the source of a higher kernel version didnt work for me. even worse, the driver for my qlogic qla2340 isnt supported with higher kernel versions so recompiling is out of the question.

i edited the $PATHTOSOURCE/LVM2.2.00.06/lib/device/dev-io.h file. I placed a "begin comment" at line215 and an "end comment" at the end of line219.

the program compiled without a hickup.

take care,
-Chris
