All,
I had some problems getting the tools to build. First, in
tools/lib/liblvm.h, the included file <linux/lvm.h> did not compile because the reference tospinlock_ton line 573 was unknown. I added an #include <linux/spinlock.h> toliblvm.h, and everything in the lib directory built fine.Next, in
tools/lvmchange.con line 160, the identifierLVM_RESETwas unknown. This is defined in <linux/lvm.h>, but only ifLVM_TOTAL_RESETis defined. I removed the #ifdef around it so thatLVM_RESETis always defined. After that change, the tools built okay.Well, not completely okay. Because when I do the following:
pvcreate /dev/hd[bc]1
vgcreate vg01 /dev/hd[bc]1the vgcreate command dumps core on a segmentation fault. I'm wondering if any of the fixes I made were incomplete or the wrong way to fix it.

This is being built on kernel 2.3.40 with the 0.8i patch.
I should have also mentioned that I made the changes to
tools/lib/lvm_tab_vg_check_exist_all_vg.cthat Heinz describes in his message on Jan. 1. I get no output from vgcreate at all, just the seg fault.
Duh. I suppose I should do a little more digging on my own before I email
to the list. I had a typo in the changes I made to that file, so I fixed
that and just to be safe I did a make clean before the make.
I'm now creating PVs, VGs and LVs to my heart's content.
To Heinz and contributors: I must give you a sincere THANK YOU for creating this fantastic software. LVM on Linux is something I've wanted
for a long time.
Cheers,
Jim
