[linux-lvm] Installing LVM on s/390 redhat 7.2 2.4.7-39

[jrelist at ntlworld.com]

Well, it's kind of working now ! I followed the link, got the patch. I patched lvm 1.0.6 to my kernel, ended up having to manually change lvm-snap.c, went throught the build and IPL'd successfully !

However, I'm now faced with another problem. After creating, then extending a VG, a subsequent vgscan gives 'segmentation error' and a pvscan now says the vg the devices are connected to is unknown. The rpm installed for the lvm utilities is 1.0.3-10, and from searching the lists I believe I need an updated version of VGSCAN. I know there won't be a binary available for s/390 redhat at 1.0.6 level, but I'd like to what would be the best SRPMS to get - I've seen a couple of different versions but nothing specifically mentioned as for a Redhat distro.

Thanks for your help so far, nearly there.... !

John
