[linux-lvm] Problems applying lvm patches for kernel 2.4.4

[Heinz J. Mauelshagen]

Paniagua,

this is a known problem already fixed in our CVS repository.

Ether get the SW from http://www.sistina.com/lvm or
change get_hardblocksize to get_hardsect_size and recompile.

Regards,
Heinz    -- The LVM Guy --
