    the standard kernel, please don't butcher it just because you feel
    like it.

    There's nothing stopping us from removing Herbert's incomplete DM
    patch and applying the proper DM patch. Whoever's handling i386
    2.4, I'd highly recommend doing that.

    That would be me.

    What do others think of this? hch?

    I talked to Alasdair G Kergon a few weeks ago and he mentioned the
    snapshot support is in 2.6 now and a 2.4 backport available outside.

    Can someone point me towards what patch I should be looking at?

    The only reason for the castrated DM patch that's currently in debian's
    2.4 is because Herbert didn't want to maintain stuff that wasn't in 2.6. However, the full DM patch is now in 2.6 (it made it into 2.6.8-rc1,
    iirc).

    I talked to Alasdair G Kergon a few weeks ago and he mentioned the
    snapshot support is in 2.6 now and a 2.4 backport available outside.


    2.6 snapshotting is actually a forward port; the 2.4 DM patch has had it
    for years.

    apt-get install kernel-patch-device-mapper
    The 2.4.26 patch is at /usr/src/kernel-patches/diffs/device- mapper/linux-2.4.26-devmapper-ioctl.patch.gz
    If it doesn't apply to 2.4.27, pester [email protected] for a new
    upstream patch.

    The 2.4.26 patch is at /usr/src/kernel-patches/diffs/device- mapper/linux-2.4.26-devmapper-ioctl.patch.gz

    Thanks.

    Are there any objections to applying this to kernel-source-2.4.26 ?
