[linux-lvm] Dumb (well known I hope) symbol problem

[David Vidal Rodriguez]

Hi folks,

I have just downloaded the CVS source tree of LVM and I'm still
wondering why I can't compile the module/compiled-in version.
I have the Linus-2.4.0 source tree in /var/tmp and I'm not root ('cause
I'm not the owner of this --quick-- machine and compiling the source in
my P90 would be too much). The following symbols appear to be missing
after running ./configure with --with-kernel_dir=/var/tmp/linux, applied
the patch to the source and tried to compile as usual:

drivers/md/mddev.o: In function lvm_init_fs'
drivers/md/mddev.o: In function lvm_fin_fs'
drivers/md/mddev.o: In function lvm_fs_create_vg'
drivers/md/mddev.o: In function lvm_fs_remove_vg'
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x2221): undefined reference to
lvm_do_vg_remove':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x228b): undefined reference to
lvm_do_pv_create':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x245f): undefined reference to
lvm_do_pv_remove':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x2488): undefined reference to
lvm_do_lv_create':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x2d79): undefined reference to
lvm_do_lv_remove':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x2ea7): undefined reference to
lvm_do_lv_rename':
drivers/md/mddev.o(.text+0x3de6): undefined reference to
lvm_fs_create_lv'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1


I promise that's the last time I ask such a thing; it really screws me
up not being able to have a decent beta7 kernel!

Thanks & cheers,
