I would like install LVM with kernel version 2.4.3. I downloaded version 0.9.1beta7.

The variables in PATCHES/Makefile are:

KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux
LVM_VERSION=0.9.1_beta7
KERNEL_VERSION=2.4.3

The file PATCHES/README said "type 'make', a file of the form lvm-<LVM_VERSION>-<KERNEL_VERSION>.patch should be built, but I haven't any file

	for version 2.4.3.

	Can I use LVM with version 2.4.3 or I have to
	install 2.4.2?

	Thanks a lot!

I'm using LVM with version 2.4.3 and 0.9.1beta6 (out of convenience, there was a debian package of it). I did the above. It worked, the patch applied flawlessly. I *did* however get some problems, but it seems to be strictly LVM snapshot-related, and did not cause any errors on the real volume. I sent a detailed report to this list yesterday. I will, however, not trust LVM snapshot yet for backup. And I have a full backup of the system in case somehing *should* go wrong, although I have no reason to think so.

In fact, I've done a lot of LVM-manipulation these last few days, none of them really failed, except for LVM snapshot. I have not tried things like pvmove of a mounted system, though, but I have done lvextend and extended filesystems on mounted filesystems.
