Hi,

I see on the Sistina web page that LVM is supported on RedHat Advanced Server 2.1. So I have a couple of questions:

1. Which version of lvm (1.0.6)?
2. Which redhat kernel errata (2.4.9-e.3 and/or 2.4.9-e.8)?
3. I did try to apply the 1.0.6 version on the 2.4.9-e.3 kernel I got a couple of patch installation errors (Makefile and lvm-snap.c was missing). Are these expected? I cannot find any other directions that are specific to AS2.1. Are there any others?

Thanks!

latest (if that kernel can be called recent) is 2.4.9-e.9

anyway standard lvm patch process supposes you have a stock kernel, and AFAIR that was the only setup supported by sistina (feel free to correct me if i am wrong).

i expected a difference in makefile lvm-mod-objs should be correct on rh kernels (read the reject and the original and see for yourself) and lvm-snap.h (not .c) has also been removed.
the rest of the patch is more or less a diff between your current lvm files and those in LVM/1.0.6/kernel
so you can ignore those.

regards,
L.
