Is anyone running LVM2 on RedHat 7.2?
I'm trying to build LVM2 support for a RedHat 7.2 box. We use a 2.4.22 kernel
from kernel.org. We only want LVM so we can do snapshot-based backups of a MySQL
database.
Following the instructions in the device-mapper 1.00.08 INSTALL, I've successfully
completed the following steps:
./configure --with-kernel-dir=/home/dmurray/kernel/linux-2.4.22
make apply-patches
make menuconfig
(LVM, Device-mapper, Mirror (RAID-1) support all compiled into the kernel)
make dep && make bzImage && make modules
So far, so good.
When I tried to build the libdevmapper.so library, it failed on an undeclared
DM_LIST_VERSIONS:

Any suggestions? Should we stick with LVM1 instead on RedHat 7.2?
