[linux-lvm] ORACLE OPS and Fibre channel

[Slava Tulchinsky]

After successfully installing Oracle 8.1.7.0.1 OPS on Redhat 6.2 with
2.2.19-6.2.1 using Compaq fibre channel card RA4000 to connect to Compaq
external drive enclosure RA4100 (kernel driver cpqfc), We decided see if OPS
will work with lvm 0.9.1-Beta7. After following all the instructions in INSTALL
and README files was able to compile patch file. when running the patch against
kernel sorce genhd.c.rej was created, I was still able to compile the kernel and
install lvm. LVM part seems to work fine, but when booting with the newly
compiled
kernel no longer able to use raw partitions with OPS with or without LVM.
