There's a thing I don't understand : is the lvm_1.0.1rc4 patch still in the 
2.4.17 kernel or do I have to patch my 2.4.17 kernel to use lvm and lvm 
commands ?

I thought that using a 2.4.17 kernel permitted to have lvm fonctionalities and 
not to be obliged to patch the kernel.

Sorry for my ignorance.
