Patches for 2.6.0 kernels for EVMS 2.2.1. These patches override the ones that are shipped with the EVMS 2.2.1 package. See the top-level INSTALL for more details before applying these patches. Apply each patch with: cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.0/ patch -p1 < filename.patch bd-claim.patch: Patch to allow EVMS to activate volumes on disks that also contain mounted kernel-partitions. See the comments in the patch file for more details. dm-origin.patch: Allow an origin device to be activated without any active snapshots. dm-bbr.patch: Patch to provide a Bad-Block-Relocation target for Device-Mapper. Required if you want to use BBR devices. dm-sparse.patch: Patch to provide a Sparse-device target for Device-Mapper. Only necessary if you intend to use Sparse devices. Since these are primarily for testing purposes, it's unlikely that you will need this patch. :) md-recovery.patch Patch to allow EVMS to ask the MD driver if a RAID-1 or RAID-5 device is in the middle of syncing. md-multipath.patch Patch to the multipath personality in the MD driver to properly perform I/O load-balancing. You do want to load-balance, don't you? :) Required if you want to use the MD-Multipath plugin in EVMS.
