I can verify that /usr/include/linux/fs.h (that is, /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/include/linux/fs.h) does indeed exist. Detail: kernel 2.6.10, stock from kernel.org. lvm2.2.00.33 (lvm2.2.01.02 does the same thing) I have my kernel source in /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 but I have the correct symlink set up for it in /usr/src/; ditto for /usr/include/linux.

I found a few of the problems but I haven't been able to get the thing to compile. Here's the skinny: - The asm directory doesn't exist in the linux-2.6.10 subdirectory. There are only asm-ppc, asm-x86_64, asm-i386, etc. So I made a symlink to the appropriate one in /usr/include. - There is no header file that I could find anyway, called libdevmapper.h. I symlinked it to device-mapper.h. - Now, there's some kind of problem with the definition of sector_t. Probably all things that need to be addressed in the future with regard to 2.6.10... unless, based on the things I've said here, my machine sounds like I've got installation issues. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I do have the device mapper built. Under 2.6.10, it's called dm-mod. I took interest in your comment about header files. Where do you get your /usr/include files if not from the kernel? Do they come with your distro? (Maybe Red Hat 9 is just too old.)

Under 2.6.10, it's called dm-mod. this is the device-mapper module. you also need to build and install the device mapper library you can find at: ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/dm/ (lvm2 2.00.xx requires 1.00.xx, lvm2 2.01.xx requires dm 1.01.xx) >I took interest in your comment about header files.

(Maybe Red Hat 9 is just too old.) usually the glibc-devel package, but rh9 was based on kernel 2.4, so i don't know...
