[linux-lvm] ext2online and 2.4.18

[Ian Prowell]

Andreas,
Thanks for the prompt reply.  To be more specific I am using RedHat's
2.4.18-4 kernel.  When I apply the patch I get the following output.

[root at metaverse src]# cat /root/online-ext2-2.4.17.diff | patch -p0

1 out of 15 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file

It looks like most of the patch is working, but I am not a kernel
developer and really have no idea what failed on hunk 10.  If it would
be useful I can send the rejects file.

Once again thanks for the help and if it is a RedHat specific thing do
not worry about it too much.
