Description Sean P. Kane 2003-06-13 11:46:05 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.
