It has a 2.2.17 kernel patched with lvm-0.8final-2.2.16TL.patch. Most of the system is reiserfs created on lvm devices. In fact, the only part of the system that is not reiserfs/lvm is the /boot tree as you can see: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/lvg01/slash 600M 268M 332M 45% / /dev/hda1 45M 4.4M 39M 10% /boot /dev/lvg01/home 1.0G 133M 891M 13% /home /dev/lvg01/usr 2.0G 1.3G 752M 63% /usr /dev/lvg01/src 700M 249M 451M 36% /usr/src /dev/lvg01/local 1.0G 537M 487M 52% /usr/local /dev/lvg01/var 300M 123M 177M 41% /var /dev/lvg01/mp3 1.5G 1.4G 110M 93% /mp3 /dev/lvg01/pictures 1.0G 38M 986M 4% /pictures /dev/lvg01/wine 1.0G 32M 992M 3% /wine I want to migrate to the source from kernel-headers-2.4.0-5mdk.i586.rpm kernel-source-2.4.0-5mdk.i586.rpm patched with lvm_0.9.1_beta2.tar.gz. The problem is, I am not sure of the implementation order. i.e., should I first try to add the 0.9.1 user space tools and then the new kernel. Or, should I try to add a 0.9.1 patch to the current kernel before switching to the new 2.4.0 kernel etc... As you can see, I am a bit confused. I would appreciate some words of guidance from anyone that has already done something similar (successfully). -- Good Journey, longevity and prosperity to all Les Hazelton
