In particular, this gives the device-mapper userspace indigestion, because the ioctl passes something other than a 64-bit kdev_t in from libdevmapper. Upshot is that the LVM2 'vgchange -ay' fails gloriously. Workaround: Compile the devmapper/LVM stuff with a private copy of include/ linux/kdev_t.h that matches the one the kernel uses. No, I didn't actually get that to work, so I backed out the 64-bit patch... (And no, the recent devmapper/LVM2 stuff posted doesn't fix this). --==_Exmh_-327683311P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE/Da6TcC3lWbTT17ARApIQAJ9JMegsEJN357NYSvTStxnMzXgYpQCguhRW HlaLZRp46OZz+L7gRVIDV/A= =ZBv1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-327683311P--
