Looking for recipe for LVM
I have found lots of mail from people jumping hurdles to get various aspects of
lvm working, but have yet to find a recipe that I can understand for getting lvm installed/loaded/... into Redhat 7.1. from scratch. I have a Dell computer with 4 scsi drives of 36G each that need to be mounted as a single drive. Any suggestions about where I can find/buy such a recipe and/or a canned solution?
Thanks for your help.

Well, no-one else seems to be able to help so I'll try. I don't have RedHat 7 but I've heard bad stories about people trying to patch RedHat kernels.
I recommend you download the latest 2.2 or 2.4 (your preference) kernel from an ftp.kernel.org mirror and use that. The instructions in the LVM HOWTO should be enough to guide you through it.
The most difficult part is to figure out which kernel options you need to set
- apart from LVM of course - to support your hardware. If in doubt build everything as a module and it'll probably all work out fine.

Unfortunately 2.4.3 kernels need to be patched to use the latest LVM iop the kernels were build with beta2 the latest is beta8. Certian tools may not work completeky if not patched.

Indeed. Patching up to beta8 was implied in my reference to the HOWTO. For a new installation that should be painless :-)

Painless is a relative term.

For your own sanity, you should NEVER try to add another patch to any Linux Vendors kernel. Always start with a fresh kernel and collect your bits and pices from the web (take only thous you realy need). And now to contradict myselve, I could offer a highly patched 2.2.19 for Trustix (and is someone gives me access to a dumpable redhat 7.1 system I'll try to make my RPMs workable on redhat (But I've a lot of work to do at the moment, so don't expect immidiat results)).

Well, nice to hear, but I was talking about making my patched 2.2.19 kernel work on RedHat 7.1. Apparently there are some small compatibility problems, and the build targets (basically only i686) do not smouthely integrate with RH.

Paul,
where do I find Alan Cox's software? I've looked everywhere on the sistina site but no mention... maybe I'm blind!

Erick,
you arent blind coz this files are not on sistina. They can be found on ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/2.4/ . There are thousand of mirrors from kernel.org. Check them out on www.kernel.org.
I dunno if the beta7 and hardblocksize patches are included in Alan latest patch (ac9 afaik, from yesterday). Maybe somebody else know it.

I'll jump at that chance! I have a box I've been trying to build your RPMs on for a while without success... I can let you have at it.
The last point I reached was a successful build of the RPMs but I was unable to install them, the install complained that "package kernel-2.2.19-4tr1bn is for a different architecture". yikes! I was building the i686 target specifically because without specifying the target I got complaints...

do you have a public key that I can use to encrypt this information? or are you up on ICQ or YM that I can give it to you that way?
