[dm-devel] "device mapper" patch problem

[natasha patil]

 Sir,
              I am using mandrake 10.2 (kernel : 2.6.11-6mdk ),
    which device mapper patch i should download
    because on  website
     there are only 2 patches available :
    
    1)   2.4.26-rc1
    2)   2.6.12-rc2-udm1
    
    i have tried with 2nd option n followed  commands given on website
    
    http://sources.redhat.com/dm/patches.html:
    
    > cd /tmp
    > tar jxvf 2.6.12-rc2-udm1.tar.bz2
    > cd /usr/src/2.6.12-rc2-udm1
    > cat /tmp/2.6.12-rc2-udm1/*.patch | patch -p1
    
    
    i didnt understand 3rd command "cd /usr/src/2.6.12-rc2-udm1"
    my question is :  i untar that file in /tmp folder then how this
    folder is created in /usr/src ?
    
    I followed following path :
    
    1) i kept that "  2.6.12-rc2-udm1"  in /tmp
    2) cd /tmp
    3)tar jxvf 2.6.12-rc2-udm1.tar.bz2
    4) copy that directory (2.6.12-rc2-udm1) to directory /usr/src
    5) cat  /tmp/2.6.12-rc2-udm1/*.patch | patch -p1
    
    
    Then it gives me error as :
    cannot find file to patch at input line 6
    
    where i am wrong ?
    
    So, basically i want to know  which patch i should use ?
    please help me .
