What are people using for LVM code on 2.2.1[67]?
The only thing that I have found reliable was a port of the 8i stuff
that a gentleman created which he said he was submitting to Heinz for
approval. I had to couple this with the 2/10/1999 toolset in order to
get a complete system.
I have been using this in a limited production environment but
considering the pathway to it I have been reluctant to really put the
system under stress.
The LVM code looks very promising and well-done and essential to those
of us in production environments. There doesn't appear to be a clear
path to follow for those of us working with late 2.2.x kernels.
I tried merging the LVM patches that I am using with the 2.2.16 RAID
patchset but there is a massive collision in ll_rw_blk.c file that
doesn't appear to be straight forward in its resolution.
