Chet, You're being a pioneer here (also known as arrow magnet). Red Hat decided to "leave out" LVM in their 7.2 distribution because of concerns about it's stability. For your purposes, you can accomplish the same thing using "software raid0" to aggregate volumes. There are a couple of examples of that on linuxvm.org, most likely in the archives for March, and April.

I need to create a 40GB pool. I've been trying to get LVM installed on my RH 7.2 image, but I keep ruuning into problems. According to the LVM HOWTO doc I printed from www.sistina.com, LVM is part of RH 2.4, but I saw an email on the list server that said it wasn't. I've copied the tar files to my s/390 machine and unpacked them. I've run ./configure --with-kernel_dir=. as the INSTALL doc said. The next step says to put on kernel patches. The PATCHES doc says I only need to apply one patch because LVM is already part of 2.4, the lvm-1.0-2.4.9.patch. This file isn't part of the unpacked tar file. It also talks about doing a "cd /usr/src/linux", since RH 2.4 doesn't have LVM, where should I point before applying patches, if necessary? ===== Chet Norris Marriott International,Inc. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
