From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: Device Mapper was built in the -ac based Red Hat kernels, but has been removed now that the Red Hat kernels are based off Marcelo with selected -ac bits. Please include the current DM backport, so that it can get some real-world testing before 2.6 arrives. (I'm currently using DM on RH8 for the fast snapshotting.) I've done some work on re-packaging the relevant bits so that LVM1 and LVM2 can coexist, but it is still a bit untidy; see the URL for an explanation, and link to my SRPMs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: modprobe dm-mod Additional info:
2.4 device mapper isn't production ready yet.....
