Subject: LVM and Debian

I am trying to install LVM v0.7 on my debian box. I have tried with Kernel 2.2.13, 2.2.14, and 2.3.40 but nowhere I could find a configuration option that I can select to enable support for LVM. Though
in the Install instructions for LVM, it says get a kernel >=2.2.10-ac2 and also in step 8

"Omit this step if you choosed yes for LVM instead of module in "make config".

Put an "insmod lvm" into your startup script OR extend
/etc/conf.modules by

alias block-major-58 lvm
alias char-major-109 lvm

to enable modprobe to load the LVM module (enable kerneld/kmod)."

But when I do "make /config/menuconfig/xconfig", I do not see any option
for LVM. Am I missing something?

Regards.

You _did_ apply the kernel patch? The config new options are part of the kernel patch.
Otherwise you may have made a mistake in patching the kernel.

Hope this helps

LVM was only a short time part of the ac patches.
You need the separate kernel patches (http://linux.msede.com/lvm)
