LVM version of 2.4.2 kernel?
Hi!
I want to know what version of LVM (beta_x etc.) is included within Kernel 2.4.2 and if I can use the fresh compiled beta7 tools with it.
Thanks in advance,

Beta2 is in the 2.4.2 kernel. You are advised to upgrade both the kernel and the userland tools to beta7.

Ummm ?
Weren't you people saying that the Linus tree would be the main LVM repository from now on?
Would it be possible to get at least the important bugfixes merged in Linus' kernel ?
thanks,
Rik

:(, not again please, i am a noname lvm user and i really found this kind of misunderstanding really frustating.
but there is a time when "clearing the air" is needed and i am pretty sure that you all (developers) love much to code than to argue.
please, take my words as they come, from a linux user and developer wannabe that loves the way opensource is getting into the world.

sure we all hope it is, but if you take a look to the currently released linus kernel (2.4.3 and for sure the olders), it is obvious than a broken lvm was in place there.
and for sure taking the beta7 userland tools with that module is going to piss anyone.

i'll bet they (sistina) are working on that as they explained before, BTW i just found it on 2.4.4-pre6
+ * 05/04/2001 - lvm_map bugs: don't use b_blocknr/b_dev in lvm_map, it
+ * destroys stacking devices. call b_end_io on failed maps.

and i am pretty sure that there are more to come (Alan, Heinz, your turn with the ball)

Thanks for your comment here.
We hope to be on the right track to "clear the air" now.

Please recall again that it was not us pushing that to Linus back then!
Even though it was good will by the guy who did it back then, and we seem to get blamed for everything these days (maybe even for TANSTAAFL ;-) it wasn't us.
We wanted to fix several things before integrating it.
Anyway: as Joe Thornber stated in the other email; work is in progress
to change that anoying situation and to update the vanilla kernel.

Yep and sorry: that's why we recommend to get LVM 0.9.1 Beta 7 from www.sistina.com, patch the kernel and build the tools/library.

Yes, we are.
Alan Cox and others already kindfully offered their help to check the patches and likely will ease the path to Linus and the vanilla kernel integration as well.

This one and others will be covered.
Let us continue the open source game, folks ;-)

Yes, we did. I am working on it, as you would know if you read my posts to the mailing list (I cross posted to your mailing list as well). It's going to take time to merge the patches together into a form that is suitable for Alan and Linus, I'm sorry I'm not going fast enough for you. Work in progress is available for people to comment on.
The fact remains however that 2.4.3 contains equivalent code to Beta level 2 (+ a couple of tidy ups from Andrea Arcangeli), and beta7 is the version of the code that I would recommend people use - this includes the user land tools, for which we will continue to use CVS as the main repository.

Of course, I hope to send a patch set to Alan at the end of Wednesday.

SGI has beta6 in their linux-2.4-xfs-beta release. You only need the
LVM beta6 command set. It is based on linux-2.4.2 and works out of the
box just add the LVM beat6 commands. You don't have to use their
xfs file if you don't want.
I think this will be the best place to get a linux 2.4 kernel with fairly current LVM for a while.
