[linux-lvm] Lock Patch

[IT3 Stuart B. Tener, USNR-R]

List members:

	I am curious; if I am running 2.4.8-12mdk (Mandrake 8,0), which lock patch do I use the 2.4.4 version or the 2.4.9 version?

I would try the 2.4.4 one. If that doesn't apply then try the 2.4.9.

	Well thank you for that most helpful suggestion, but silly me, I consider my time more valuable. I shall wait for someone to post a proper answer, rather than one, which is both obvious and inefficient.

Stuart,

Patrick gave you a helpfull hint, so there's no reason for your rude reaction.
Doing what he recommended is a matter of little time as well.

Ask the Mandrake LVM maintainer if that's more preferable for you.

Re: [linux-lvm] Lock Patch

[svetljo]

one question
are we talking about LVM/PATCHES/linux-2.4.x-VFS-lock-patch

simply run  $LVM_ROOT./configure ; cd PATCHES ; make ; and aply the patch

linux-lvm-1.0.1rc2-2.4.8-12mdk.mdk

but in case we are not tolking about this patch
what are we talking about , which lock.patch

You could also look for drop_super() in fs/super.c.  If it is there, use
the 2.4.9 patch, if it isn't, use the 2.4.4 patch.  I'm guessing you'll
need the 2.4.4 one.

RE: [linux-lvm] Lock Patch

[IT3 Stuart B. Tener, USNR-R]

Mr. Mauelshagen:

	I am not meaning to be rude, its just his answer is unclear and does not specify really what to do. He just generally says, "try it all", whatever. If I am asking a question, it is because I am truly lost. I am asking for not only assistance but also an understanding of what I must do. I am a relatively technical person, and will not try any of the below solutions without understanding their impact and the exact method they ought to be deploy within

	Does he mean I ought to apply both patches, one followed by the other?

	Does he mean apply one patch try it, then remove it and apply the second?

	Does he mean apply one patch try it, leave it and then apply the second?

	Does he mean patches which are specific to mandrake's distributions? Are there such patches? Must I upgrade to 2.4.9?

	Well I shall do that, but if svetljo has a link for a mandrake specific version of the patch for the exact kernel version I am running, I think I will prefer that solutions. I will however review your suggestions none the less.

You could also look for drop_super() in fs/super.c.  If it is there, use
the 2.4.9 patch, if it isn't, use the 2.4.4 patch.  I'm guessing you'll
need the 2.4.4 one.

Re: [linux-lvm] Lock Patch

[svetljo]

Hi
thats in case we are tolking about linux-2.4.1-VFS-lock.patch, 
linux-2.4.2-VFS-lock.patch, linux-2.4.4-VFS-lock.patch
and linux-2.4.9-VFS-lock.patch which are in LVM/1.0x/PATCHES

there is no such speciefic patch , you should create it yourself
have you folowed what i told you, you should then have it

from the beginig
untar the lvm-code lvm-1.0.1-rc2.tar.bz2: tar xjvf lvm-1.0.1-rc2.tar.bz2
you have now directory LVM and in it 1.0.1-rc2
cd LVM/1.0.1-rc2
configure the sources for your system: ./configure
go to PATCHES and prepare the patch for your kernel: make
you should have now the patch for your kernel
apply the patch

recompile the kernel or modules
and compile the tools - go back to LVM/1.0.1-rc2 and type make
and then install them : make install

RE: [linux-lvm] Lock Patch

[IT3 Stuart B. Tener, USNR-R]

Svetljo:

        Are you saying that typing, "make" in the "PATCHES" directory will cause a patch to be generated specifically for my kernel? What name will it be given?
        The documentation says to add a dash dash kernel-dir= or something or other after the "./configure" command, are you saying it is better to use "./configure" absent that appended statement?
         Where do I untar the LVM source? Does it matter where I do so? May I do it in /tmp?

thats right ,in case you don't use  ./configure --kernel-dir it will use 
/usr/src/linux wich is a symbolik link to our kernel

 linux-2.4.8
it will name it lvm-1.0.1-rc2" here comes our kernel version".patch
it's the same as the one mentioned in the /usr/src/linux/Makefile in our 
case /usr/src/linux-2.4.8/Makefile
so  it's lvm-1.0.1-rc2-linux-2.4.8-12mdk.patch
but you have first run ./configure in the previous dir, then chdir to 
PATCHES ,and "make " should make the patch

no it doesn't metter, you can put it where ever you wont,
in case your /tmp is not cleaned @ every reboot no problems , but it's 
probably a very good idea not to delete it

Svetljo:

	Again I do not know that this fact is documented anywhere in the How-To. I will attempt to reimplement this version of LVM later using your suggestions. One respondent told me that I might be having trouble building a suitable init.gz as the lvmcreate_initrd script was revised in future versions?

	I am curious, does anyone plan to modify the documentation to effecuate adding the issues I have hit up in recent days?

thats right ,in case you don't use  ./configure --kernel-dir it will use
/usr/src/linux wich is a symbolik link to our kernel

 linux-2.4.8
it will name it lvm-1.0.1-rc2" here comes our kernel version".patch
it's the same as the one mentioned in the /usr/src/linux/Makefile in our
case /usr/src/linux-2.4.8/Makefile
so  it's lvm-1.0.1-rc2-linux-2.4.8-12mdk.patch
but you have first run ./configure in the previous dir, then chdir to
PATCHES ,and "make " should make the patch

no it doesn't metter, you can put it where ever you wont,
in case your /tmp is not cleaned @ every reboot no problems , but it's
probably a very good idea not to delete it

Re: [linux-lvm] Lock Patch

[svetljo]

well it's suposed to be known,
almost every program( or every exept the comercial) for linux goes this way
./configure make make install , and when you are instaling binaries from 
rpm they are configured for the most common PC and then compiled with " 
make " installing the rpm = make install
and smth of the kind should be mentioned somewhere , probably in README 
or INSTALL in the lvm dir

[linux-lvm] Lock patch

[@ 2001-10-11 16:43 UTC (permalink / raw)]

Hi!

Will there be a VFS lock patch for 2.4.12? The patch for 2.4.9 doesn't
work with kernels > 2.4.10

Greetings,
Julian

I'd like to clean this up a little so the extra semaphore isn't required,
but it does work.  There's an extra hunk tacked onto the end that you'll
need for reiserfs.
