[linux-lvm] patching linux kernel 2.2.16

[Peter Michael Nielsen]

Help.

I need som information about patching kernel 2.2.16 with 0.8final
When I try to patch I get the following response:

------------------------------------------------------
[root@pemi /root]# tar xfz lvm_0.8final.tar.gz 

[root@pemi /root]# gzip -dc patch-lvm_0.8final-2.gz|(cd /usr/src/linux;
patch -p1)
can't find file to patch at input line 9
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|The following fixes are required to compile the user
|mode tools with glibc2.1 (SuSE 6.3, RHAT 6.?).

Can anyone give me at hint to solve this.

You can't use the 0.8final patch (AFAIK) for 2.2.  There is only a
0.8i patch for 2.2 avaliable from Heinz.  You can get something like
0.8 final from the SuSE kernel sources, and I'm working on updating
2.2 LVM to match what's in the 2.4 kernel.

Cheers, Andreas
