Hello,
thanks again.
I did:
* untar the kernel 2.4.13
* patched with xfs
* created lvm-patch
* patched with lvm
* changed the line as described above
* configured the kernel
* built the kernel

This won´t work in another order, e.g. built the lvmpatch with a
vanilla-kernel or apply the lvm patch first! I always got errors doing
this.

Two questions:
1. Why isn´t lvm-1.0.1-rc4 in the current Linux-Kernel? Why do I still
need to patch? I think this version is already stable and better than
the older one, isn´t it?
2. Should I write a bug-report to the xfs-guys? If yes, can I include
your Email, Patrick?

Regards
Uli
