[linux-lvm] building debug versions of lvm cli utilities

[Michael Jensen <beachhangar yahoo com>]

I would like to know what the general procedure would be to create gdb (debug) versions of several LVM utilities - pvscan, pvdisplay.

 

I am using RH 4.7 and have the sources.

 

Can I use the kernel based on the distributed binaries?

 

compile the sources and do a make with the appropriate options?

 

Then invoke the debug version of the utility with a dbg command?

 

 

Not sure if the utilities run in user or kernel space ?

 

Thanks,

Mike
