[linux-lvm] eta for a 2.4.10 compatible release?

[Wichert Akkerman]

I'm looking at the LVM CVS tree and the last change in the kernel
patches I can find is from August 22, and the patches don't
apply to a 2.4.10 ( which is almost 3 weeks old now) or 2.4.11,
either Linus or ac tree.

Are there any plans to make a new release that does work with a
recent kernel or even just to update the CVS? 

Wichert.

The LVM source at ftp://ftp.sistina.com/pub/LVM/1.0/ builds
patches that apply and build fine with 2.4.11. I don't know whether
they work fine too - I've not rebooted yet.

This is by no means blessed by the official LVM folks, but what I've
been doing for quite a while is the following (assuming the latest
lvm and kernel tarballs are unpacked in the current directory):

cp LVM/1.0.1-rc4/kernel/*.c LVM/1.0.1-rc4/kernel/lvm-internal.h \
	linux/drivers/md/
cp LVM/1.0.1-rc4/kernel/lvm.h linux/include/linux/
cat linux/drivers/md/Makefile | \
	sed 's/^\(lvm-mod-objs.*\)$/\1 lvm-fs.o/' > m && \
	mv m linux/drivers/md/Makefile

Very simple procedure; replace all the lvm stuff in the kernel w/ the
new lvm files, and just add lvm-fs.o to the md Makefile:
-lvm-mod-objs	:= lvm.o lvm-snap.o
+lvm-mod-objs	:= lvm.o lvm-snap.o lvm-fs.o

No worries about rejected patches, and so on.

Erm...where are you looking?  The patches are autogenerated from the
files in here, http://tech.sistina.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/LVM/kernel/
which are regularly updated.  Have you read the README in the PATCHES
directory?

I'm not sure why you think the CVS hasn't been updated.  It has.
