Hi, 

The situation here is that i have an old LSI (megasr) fakeraid card. it forced 
me to use kernel 2.6.32, because XCP/xenserver's default kernel can't detect my 
harddrive, even after i've compiled the driver using its DDK. 

so i have to build xenserver from scratch from vanilla centos 6 (ouch). i've 
managed to compile xen 4.2.2 (*1) and  xen-api using rpms built by 
xen-api-rpm-buildroot(*2)

the problem is, i think the LVM SR Driver is not compiled in. so, how to add 
them?  i found the its repo in https://github.com/xapi-project/sm, but as its 
readme said, it can't be compiled using "make && make install" as usual.

cc -O2 -I/usr/include/python2.6/ -I/usr/include -shared xslib.o xslib_wrap.o 
-lxenstore -o _xslib.so
/usr/bin/ld: xslib.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.8' can not 
be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
xslib.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [_xslib.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ayik/sm/snapwatchd'
make: *** [install] Error 2


any clue how to compile xen-api SM ? and then of course how to configure it so 
that we can create LVM SR ?


*1) http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/xen-c6/SRPMS/
*2) https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api-rpm-buildroot


PS:

just share some experience when building rpms from xen-api-rpm-buildroot:

1. the xen-ocaml* spec are overlapping with ocaml-xen-lowlevel-libs-* (plase 
see errors below). both are trying to install the same target

> Transaction Check Error:
>   file /usr/lib64/ocaml/xenstore/xenstore.a conflicts between attempted 
> installs of ocaml-xenstore-devel-1.2.1-1.x86_64 and

2. there is some error when installing xenopsd-libvirt, but i don't know what 
the effect
