LVM 1.0.3 to LVM 1.0.6 upgrade path on a Redhat 8.0 Production System
Quoted 9 lines · DJ TweeQ
I Hope this won't be misconstrued as spam ;)
I'm a bit confused about the patch installation instructions as they refer to the patch being for Linus kernels and not popular distributions (ie. Redhat)...and I *really* need some help with upgrading/patching LVM 1.0.3x to LVM 1.0.6 on a Redhat 8.0 production system running the Redhat 2.4.18-24.8.0 kernel as I need to increase and resize one of my LV's beyond the current 240gig limitation yesterday. :)
Then try asking Redhat.

Thanks Joe I appreciate your response greatly but..
a) Is this is the LVM mailing list? :)
b) I don't have money to pay Redhat to tell me they have no idea or that they only support the version included (1.0.3) the latter being the most likely response. :)
c) I'm asking you ;) lol

Yes, but you are using a version of LVM that was packaged by Redhat.

If you are desperately needing help, try and ask them.

Use a stock kernel so the patch from sistina applies cleanly. Or go and use SuSE, version 8.1 ships lvm 1.0.5 (I admit I do not know what the LV size limit is there).
