[linux-lvm] LVM 0.9 vgscan problem

[Brad Corsello <bcorsello@usa.net>]

OK, Jan's patch fixed the vgextend problem on my machine, at least.  I
manually made the changes to the lvm.c that ships with 2.4.0 and recompiled
the module, and I succesfully did a few vgextend operations.  We're just
commenting out one line and adding two lines in a different place.  Jan's
patch does not appear to be against the version of lvm.c that ships with
2.4.0, so I didn't try to apply it.  A patch against the version of lvm.c that
ships with 2.4.0 follows (sorry if the format is wrong, I don't usually do
this sort of thing):
