Hi!

I've just downloaded LVM 1.0.1-rc2 and tried to configure it ready for kernel
2.4.9. However I get this output:

[root@fuse 1.0.1-rc2]# ./configure 
.

./configure: ${srcdir/#\/*}: bad substitution

The patch seems to build OK however.

Another question - what kernel / lvm version do people recommend I use if I want
to avoid the MM problems in 2.4.9? I'd rather use a cutting edge version, but
what's the most stable? I couldn't seem to get 2.4.9-ac9 working, as it already
seems to have LVM beta7 parts in it and the patch doesn't work.

Has anyone had LVM 1.0.1-rc2 working with 2.4.10-pre12 ?

Regards,

James
