Patching Kernel 2.4.16.

I'm trying to build a kernel with the 1.0.1 stuff, I run the Makefile in the PATCHES file generating lvm-1.0.1-2.4.16.patch and apply this to the kernel souce (patch -p1 < ../...) cleanly. Run make oldconfig, make dep, make bzImage > output and I get a whole bunch of errors starting with:

Interesting. I tried it again building LVM as a module and it workeded.

Wait a minute.

I still need to apply the VFS Lock Patch, right?

Only if you need snapshotting of journalled filesystems.
