[linux-lvm] Dumb (well known I hope) symbol problem

[David Vidal Rodriguez]

Hi folks,

I have just downloaded the CVS source tree of LVM and I'm still
wondering why I can't compile the module/compiled-in version.
I have the Linus-2.4.0 source tree in /var/tmp and I'm not root ('cause
I'm not the owner of this --quick-- machine and compiling the source in
my P90 would be too much). The following symbols appear to be missing
after running ./configure with --with-kernel_dir=/var/tmp/linux, applied
the patch to the source and tried to compile as usual:

drivers/md/mddev.o: In function lvm_init_fs'
drivers/md/mddev.o: In function lvm_fin_fs'
drivers/md/mddev.o: In function lvm_fs_create_vg'
drivers/md/mddev.o: In function lvm_fs_remove_vg'
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x2221): undefined reference to
lvm_do_vg_remove':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x228b): undefined reference to
lvm_do_pv_create':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x245f): undefined reference to
lvm_do_pv_remove':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x2488): undefined reference to
lvm_do_lv_create':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x2d79): undefined reference to
lvm_do_lv_remove':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x2ea7): undefined reference to
lvm_do_lv_rename':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x3de6): undefined reference to
lvm_fs_create_lv'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1


I promise that's the last time I ask such a thing; it really screws me
up not being able to have a decent beta7 kernel!

Thanks & cheers,

It looks like the patch didn't build correctly.  Did you specify the 
location of your source code with 'configure --with-kernel_dir=DIR' ?

If not make distclean in the LVM dir and start again.

As mentioned in my original posting, I specified the --with-kernel_dir flag
with my current linux source tree, ie:
/var/tmp/linux
I'm starting from the beginning again, though, and following each instruction
carefully. I'll let you know of any issues.

[David Vidal Rodriguez]

So what's the difference between patching -p0 at /usr/src and patching -p1 at
/usr/src/linux?? Now it's compiling successfully (Gott sei dank!)!

Thanks for the hint (which is what I should have done from the beginning: read
_carefully_ and _completely_)...

Bad news:
I had posted the last message after having compiled the "critical" zone. But now
it complains just at the final stage, when the kernel is built:

Mail me the lvm patch and the LVM/PATCHES/Makefile please.

Re: [linux-lvm] Dumb (well known I hope) symbol problem

David,
this looks like a missing LVM kernel patch.

Did you follow the instructions contained in the INSTALL
and PATCHES/README files in order to update the LVM kernel code?

We are working on updating vanilla to the recent LVM code, but up to 2.4.4
you still need to apply a patch which comes with the LVM distribution.

Regards,
Heinz    -- The LVM Guy --
