Hello, I have dd'd my LVM (8e) partition off a disk and sent it compressed to another machine (to save disk space): dd if=/dev/sda2 | gzip -c | (ssh [email protected] dd of=/backups/lvm.dat.gz
So I have this 50G compressed file. If I need to mount it I could use the losetup command on a loop device, but its a compressed file and lvm play ball. Then I saw the cloop device listed on a Wikipedia page, which is the loop device for compressed files! Voila! Im just wondering if anyone has used the cloop kernel driver on RHEL 5.4? If so, where can I get the source code that hasn't been Debian-ised? The Debian port of the code generates an error when compiling on RHEL 5.4..: Some of the functions in the code dont have enough parameters in them???? Im using cloop-src(2.05~20060829-1.2) http://packages.debian.org/stable/cloop-src OR maybe someone knows another way to crack the nut... Thanks, James Harrison
