* [linux-lvm] Building lvm2 against 2.6.10...

The configure script fails for lvm2 with the following...
checking linux/fs.h usability... no
checking linux/fs.h presence... no
checking for linux/fs.h... no
configure: error: bailing out
There isn't much of use in the config.log.
I can verify that /usr/include/linux/fs.h (that is,
/usr/src/linux-2.6.10/include/linux/fs.h) does indeed exist.
Detail: kernel 2.6.10, stock from kernel.org.
lvm2.2.00.33 (lvm2.2.01.02 does the same thing)
I have my kernel source in /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 but I have the correct
symlink set up for it in /usr/src/; ditto for /usr/include/linux.
Words of wisdom?

well, there should be something, maybe something referring to pgoff_t?
check you have defined pgoff_t in /usr/include/linux/types.h

Actually, I just wasn't looking far enough up in the config.log. I found
a few of the problems but I haven't been able to get the thing to
compile. Here's the skinny:
- The asm directory doesn't exist in the linux-2.6.10 subdirectory.
There are only asm-ppc, asm-x86_64, asm-i386, etc. So I made a symlink
to the appropriate one in /usr/include.
- There is no header file that I could find anyway, called
libdevmapper.h. I symlinked it to device-mapper.h.
- Now, there's some kind of problem with the definition of sector_t.
Probably all things that need to be addressed in the future with regard
to 2.6.10... unless, based on the things I've said here, my machine
sounds like I've got installation issues.

i don't know which linux distro you are using, but relying on the kernel
for includes is bad practice. anyway if you do you better do at least a
make oldconfig in the kernel tree.

you have to build and install the device mapper.

sorry my scrying orb is out of order.

My distro is Red Hat 9.
I do have the device mapper built. Under 2.6.10, it's called dm-mod.
I took interest in your comment about header files. Where do you get
your /usr/include files if not from the kernel? Do they come with your
distro? (Maybe Red Hat 9 is just too old.)

this is the device-mapper module.
you also need to build and install the device mapper library you can
find at:
ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/dm/
(lvm2 2.00.xx requires 1.00.xx, lvm2 2.01.xx requires dm 1.01.xx)

usually the glibc-devel package, but rh9 was based on kernel 2.4, so i
don't know...
