Did you read the README file at his FTP site? If you had, you would know that you have at least two patches you need to apply. You're lucky that I'm writing up the LVM Cheat Sheet as we speak. ;-) I had to research this stuff. OK, it's not that difficult to find this info, but it's not available on the LVM site for all to read. This is what you must do: Download the following files and patch the stock 2.2.17 kernel in the order that you see them. 1. Ingo Molnar's RAID Patch http://people.redhat.com/mingo/raid-patches/raid-2.2.17-A0 2. Stephen Tweedie's RAWIO Patch ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/fs/raw-io/raw-2.2.17.diff 3. Andreas Dilger's LVM Patch ftp://ftp.stelias.com/pub/adilger/lvm-0.8final-2.2.16TL.patch I don't believe there's anything distribution specific to Andrea's LVM kernel patch. Download and compile the LVM tools from Andrea's SRPM or tarball. Tom Lees also has a Debian package of the slightly older 0.8final tools. You may want to download the source tarball from Andreas, then apply the Debian patch to build the *.deb. Note: Tom's diff has all of the changes to use ext2resize (GPL) with the e2fsadm tool instead of the resize2fs (commercial) tool. Otherwise, you have to edit these by hand. > Andreas Dilger has a patch for Turbo Linux 2.2.16 but it doesn't apply > nicely to a 2.2.17 stock kernel (lots of rejects) Actually, I didn't get any rejects. Since the patches are context based, they do apply cleanly, if you do them in this order. You will see some messages about offsets, but that's it. I'm compiling my test kernel as we speak, and I've got a full 9.1 GB HD to play with. ;-) In three hours, I'll have to make like I know what I'm talking about, so I figured that I should successfully play with the tools I'm supposed to be talking about (yeah, right). --=20 Chad "^chewie, gunnarr" Walstrom http://www.wookimus.net/ --cNdxnHkX5QqsyA0e Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6DYkPDMcLGCBsWv0RArcMAJ0XCJaIW+PCgugBFJmsf8JJJ8/rqQCgjq/a x6lHX0nak2//kh2EDDGISr4= =Tf2D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --cNdxnHkX5QqsyA0e--
