I change the code that you say , and cotinue the error

                                           strlen (dir_ent->d_name) +
                                           3)) == NULL) {
                  ret = -LVM_EREMOVE_RECURSIVE_MALLOC;
                  goto lvm_remove_recursive_end;
               }
               sprintf ( file_name, "%s/%s", dir, dir_ent->d_name, 0);
               if ( lstat ( file_name, &sb) == 0) {

And when compile it , it say that :

cc -c -pipe -Wall -O2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBUG -I/root/LVM/0.8final/tools/lib
-I/root/LVM/0.8final/tools -o lvm_remove_recursive.o lvm_remove_recursive.c
