Has the patch been merged with the vanilla 2.4 kernel? it hasn't been merged, it's still required... if you google for linux-2.4.22-VFS-lock.patch you'll find a version included in device-mapper tarballs. it applies fine on recent kernels (modulo the dm.c file unless you've also applied device mapper patch). -dean _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
