[linux-lvm] configure:sed: file conftest.s1 line 40: Unterminated `s' command

[Theo]

Hi there,

I downloaded version 1.0.1 and when I run configure I get the following
problem. My guess would be I have an outdated version of sed. I'm running
GNU sed version 3.02. What version do I need or am I totally of track  ?

Regards.

PS: I'm currently running LVM 1.0 fine.

checking for uname... (cached) yes
creating ./config.status

Well, I'm running 3.02 (3.02-8 Debian package) and have configured
1.0.1 without problems.

If you don't get a definite anwser, try adding set -x at the beginning
of configure and see what sed commands are being generated while the
Makefile is being created.

Sincerely,

Adrian Phillips

What does this mean?  Skipping the lilo used portion?

The FAQ, and Changlog on the web site don't seem to go
into any detail about this...

Thanks, Ralph.

RJ> What does this mean?  Skipping the lilo used portion?

Well, you create an MD device and run pvcreate on it directly instead
of partitioning it and running pvcreate on the partition(s).

So you get something like:

XYX:nas00:~> cat /proc/lvm/VGs/nas/PVs/md5
name:         /dev/md5
size:         833674752
status:       1
number:       1
allocatable:  2
LV current:   2
PE size:      8192
PE total:     50882
PE allocated: 5760
device:       09:05
uuid:         ARVg-SWBN-tvwA-Go2T-BuM9-6ntF-LUqu-nQXY

I didn't have any problems doing this with 1.0.1rc4.
