I found out lately about LVM, but I have trouble to installing on linux Mandrake 9.1. It is such a pain in bum. I download the LVM stable ver. wtih the device-mapper to /mnt/share/WinShare/LVM dir, this is example : file:/mnt/share/WinShare/LVM/LVM-2.0-stable.tgz/device-mapper.1.00.05/patches
you can fingure / so so where everything that I am talking about is store right?
Ok,
Then I ran the command in device-mapper cause device-mapper must be install 1st on Linux if it wasn't before, so in the device-mapper dir i ran the command
./configure ----kernel-source-dir---=file:/usr/src/Linux-2.4.21-0.13mdk and it ran some processes/executions and stop. Then I kept reading the INSTALL file in device-mapper folder, was telling me to install patches i ran the patches with command something like
[root@localhost patches]# pwd
/mnt/share/WinShare/LVM/LVM-2.0-stable.tgz/device-mapper.1.00.05/patches
[root@localhost patches]# cd /
[root@localhost /]# cd usr
[root@localhost usr]# cd src
[root@localhost src]# ls
Linux-2.4.21-0.13mdk/ RPM/
[root@localhost src]# cd Linux-2.4.21-0.13mdk
[root@localhost Linux-2.4.21-0.13mdk]# patch -p1 < /mnt/share/WinShare/LVM/LVM-2.0
-stable.tgz/device-mapper.1.00.05/patches/linux-2.4.20-devmapper-ioctl.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
