[linux-lvm] Unresolved symbols in lvm-mod.o

[linux-lvm] Unresolved symbols in lvm-mod.o

[Brian Bailey]

We're making progress in our LVM setup (Redhat 7.1, kernel 2.4.3-6, lvm
1.0) and finally have a lvm-mod.o file in /md, however, when we run
depmon -a we receive the "unresolved symbols in /md/lvm-mod-o" error.

As far as we can tell, everything else in the various steps ran well.
Suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

[linux-lvm] 1.0.1-rc2 config & kernel question

[James Pattinson]

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 
.
. (omitted)
.
checking for st_rdev in struct stat... (cached) yes
checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... (cached) yes

./configure: [: ==: binary operator expected
checking whether gcc needs -traditional... (cached) no
checking return type of signal handlers... (cached) int
checking for vprintf... (cached) yes
checking for mkdir... (cached) yes
checking for rmdir... (cached) yes

creating make.tmpl
creating PATCHES/Makefile
creating tools/Makefile
creating tools/tools_and_lib.make.tmpl
creating tools/lib/Makefile
creating tools/man8/Makefile
./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

The following patch fixes that issue with configure.  I was
using an up-to-date version of bash when i wrote those in
originally, and older versions don't like the operators i used.
The following patch should fix the problem:
