please report bugs against openSUSE to SUSE 10.0 as product! (see: http://www. opensuse.org/index.php/Submit_a_bug) I updated the EVMS package in SUSE 10.0 also to version 2.5.3 . Hallo, The kernel patches are needed also, it is not just the version of evms Enno Oosterhuis reassigned to kernel maintainer 1. IMHO this is a feature request that comes after feature freeze 2. Where can I find the kernel patches? 3. Isn't evms deprecated anyway as we're using dm now? 4. Starting monday, I'm on vacation. So if the product management decides to accept this new feature request at this time, somebody else will need to do it. Chris can you decide what'S best here? I would allow the inclusion. Enno, could you attach the patch, please? EVMS is mostly in userland now that it is based on dm. It should be sufficient to update the evms userland. Lars, do we need additonal evms patches? Good question, I'm not tracking EVMS2 kernel patches but instead assume they're submitting upstream. Enno, please attach the minimal patch which you need, so we can review it more easily. Thanks! Created attachment 46014 [details]
evm 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.
Thanks. I'd like the patch in comment #9 to be discussed upstream on the dm-devel list prior to inclusion into our kernel, if possible. I'll post it to the list again and then we'll see how the discussion goes... Not sure why this is reassigned to Werner. ;-) Chris, this might be something for Neil too. Here's the answer from Kevin Corry on dm-devel: --- I'm going to say that you probably don't want to add that patch to the standard kernel for openSUSE. It removes functionality that was specifically added to the kernel a couple years ago, and there's pretty much no way that patch will be picked up for mainline. We still provide that patch with the EVMS source code, but I've been trying to get people to move away from using it whenever possible. As for mixing EVMS and "regular mounts" on the same disk, I generally advise against that. EVMS is perfectly capable of handling disk partitioning using Device-Mapper, and provides features that aren't possible using the kernel's built-in partitions (e.g. online resize and moving of partitions, taking snapshots of partitions). If openSUSE provides a way for users to create their volumes with EVMS (at the very least creating DOS partitions, Software-RAID devices, and LVM volumes) and install directly to those volumes, there shouldn't be a need to use the bd-claim patch. --- So no, we don't want to take this patch for openSUSE at least not right now, unless upstream devises a new way of dealing with this issue. |
