Bug 22768 – Request to Merge LVM2 backport kernel patch into gentoo-sources

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Sean P. Kane 2003-06-13 11:44:59 UTC]

I tried to apply this patch myself and it "almost" patches cleanly. It fails
because include/linux/mempool.h and mm/mempool.c already exist. I tried to do
the merges into these two files by hand but had some problems. I would be REALLY
interested in having LVM2 support in the 2.4 gentoo-sources tree. If anyone
could see it within there heart to see if they can get this to apply properly
and any code changes necissary look good, then I'll be happy to test it.

Here is a link to the combined patch, but the FTP directory also has the
individual patches needed as well.

Created attachment 13235 [details, diff]
Patch for linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5 to add support for LVM2 and the new Device Mapper

This patch should apply clealy to linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5. I have compiled it
fine and am about to reboot with the new kernel and then emerge the programs
from bugs 19744, 19745, and 21908 (updated to the most current releases). 

To create the patch I ran:
diff -urN linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5 linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5-lvm2 >
lvm2-linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5.patch

on the clean sources (pre-compiled, etc.)
