2.5.23 LVM

2.5.23 LVM

[Mike Black]

FYI...after applying Neil's latest patches for raid got this (not Neil's fault)...I'm not currently using LVM so I disabled it.
Good news is that it all compiled (yeah!!! -- first time in months that I've been able to compile with RAID5)
Other question -- it looks like the 2.5 build now builds modules automagically instead of saying "make modules" ???
Hopefully I'll get chance to test 2.5 soon.

This is the important line.

There are beginnings of work to fix this in 2.5.23-dj. I imagine the
folks who did those patches will be interested to know how well
it works.
