By following the instructions in the PATCHES/README file for 0.9.1 Beta2, I was able to generate a patch that appears to work for 2.2.16. I copied the fragments-2.2.18 file to fragments-2.2.16 and ran 'make' in the PATCHES directory. This created a file called lvm-0.9.1_beta2-2.2.16.patch. I grabbed the 2.2.16 rawio patch from the 0.8.1 release of LVM. (You can get this from the LVM ftp site at ftp://ftp.sistina.com/LVM/0.8.1/PATCHES/linux-2.2.16-rawio.patch) I applied this rawio patch and the generated lvm patch to the clean 2.2.16 kernel, configured, and built the kernel. After installing the kernel and rebooting the machine, I was able to see the volume group i had created with a 2.2.18 kernel and LVM 0.9.1 Beta2. I mounted a logical volume from the volume group, and was able to use it. That is the extent of the testing I have done, so if you are worried about your data, don't do this! Or at least backup your data before trying it. Good luck. -- AJ Lewis Sistina Software Inc.
