[linux-lvm] LVM kernel patch request

[IT3 Stuart B. Tener, USNR-R]

Dear Sir:

	Silly me, I followed the instructions in the How-To (30 AUG 2001) which notes there is a patch directory on the ftp site which obviously does not exist. Perhaps the maintainer of the How-To can correct this anomaly so I am able to follow correct instructions.


Very Respectfully,

Suart,

patches are created automagically(TM) running make in the PATCHES/ subdirectory
of the LVM source distro. Please follow the instructions in the contained
INSTALL and PATCHES/README files in order to hear the full story.

I didn't think about this that way before, because both documents solve
different purposes.

FAQ is ment to be a source of questions/answers for typical problems

*but*

HOWTO is a bunch of process descriptions for achiving arbitrary
goals with LVM correctly.

If I missed your point, please provide some examples HOWTO ;-) integrate
FAQs and HOWTO.
