Sébastien, 2.6.16.19 already includes the needed patch, that means you just have to upgrade the lvm2 and devmapper packages.

Hi
I’ve got debian sarge +xen with kernel 2.6.16.19
Do I must apply the patch for lvm2 or just upgrade lvm2 tools is suficient ?

Regards

Great job.
I am compiling it now. I hope it does the trick.

The source is now available via ‘apt-get source’.

Oh, I thought I’ve uploaded the source too but apparently I didn’t… I’ll upload it tomorrow.

The code is almost identical to the packages from etch. I’ve only changed the version in order to make my packages distinguishable from the real Debian packages.
No other changes were needed. Just rebuilding on sarge was enough.

Would you consider making the source available for your backports? In particular, i’m interested in seeing what modifications you made from the packages in etch/sid, so that i can apply them myself should newer versions come along.

Thanks for posting this. Misery loves company ;)

The /etc/apt/sources.list line from the article should work fine.

So, umm, what happened to the backports? Am needing to make use of them right now and backporting from etch/sid is being a right pain so since someone had already done it I was hoping to get to use it.

Seeing your post on LKML, I take it the backport didn’t help much? Maybe a update is in order – for the googlers
