compiling lvm into 2.3.49 Q.
Im new to lvm, im trying to use lvm 0.8 final and 2.3.49
My understanding is that the lvm patches are included in the default kernel now.
So im trying to compile my kernel with lvm support or check if it gets compiled in by default.
In make menuconfig i see no reference to LVM, the docs mention it should be under block devices, i cant see it there.
I look around the source and there is lvm code around.... dont know how to select it in the kernel config.
I continue onto user level... i download 0.8 final, change the path in make.tmpl change to support 2 processors, make fails at e2fsadm and lvmchange
I even tried aplying that patch-lvm_0.8final, didnt want to apply though.
Im using debian if that makes any difference.
I hope someone can put me on the right track, my guess is at this stage that its a bit early to be using 2.3.49 seems its only a few days old.... maybe some patches will apear in the not too distant future. Of course i could be doing something fundamentally wrong from the start.
Thanks

A few bits have been lost during the kernel merge. Please have a look at http://linux.msede.com/lvm/doc/BUGS
In short: You need to apply a kernel patch. There is currently no 2.3.49 patch but the 2.3.48 should work.
patch-2.3.48-lvm - patch against kernel 2.3.48

This is not for the kernel side. It's against the LVM tools.
Hope this helps

The problem is that necessary parts of the LVM stock kernel patch didn't make it in and that i was to busy to get back to Linus about that.
Have send him another patch vs. 2.3.49 which will hopefully show up soon...
Till then you can add the full LVM patch from linux.msede.com on your own.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

No worries, thanks for the pointers, i look forward to meddling with lvm and raid and seeing what trouble i can get into.
It will be great if two can get along and provide both the flexibility of managment which is what i see as the main benefit of LVM and configurable performance/redundancy of software raid.
Thanks for your help.

P.S. Ill try and come up with more challenging questions next time :-)
