[linux-lvm] VFS locking patch fails on 2.4.4

[Ed Tomlinson]

Hi,

The VFS locking patch fails on 2.4.4

oscar% cat ../LVM/linux-2.4.2-VFS-lock.patch | patch -p1
patching file drivers/md/lvm.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 207 with fuzz 1 (offset 48 lines).
patching file fs/buffer.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 331 (offset 17 lines).
patching file fs/super.c
patching file include/linux/fs.h
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1093.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file include/linux/fs.h.rej
patching file kernel/ksyms.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 177 (offset 2 lines).

This worked with 2.4.4-pre8.  This is not too important (yet) since 
reiserfs snapshots also have problems.  They do not work with pre8.
I get the same messages as previously reported (using debian sid).

I know the lvm is going thru a major paradyne shift but hope to be
able to snapshot my reiserfs partn again soon.

TIA
