supply this parameter or you may get compilation failures.
Example:
- ./configure --with-kernel-dir=/usr/src/linux-2.4.22
+ ./configure --with-kernel-dir=/usr/src/linux-2.4.26-rc1
- 2.6 kernels now already contain device-mapper patches.
+ 2.6 kernels now already contain basic device-mapper patches
+ BUT they do not support snapshots and pvmove yet.
The same userspace library and tools work with both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels
because they share the same device-mapper interface (version 4).
This directory tree contains the supporting userspace files
(libdevmapper and dmsetup) you need when working with device-mapper.
-The patches subdirectory also includes device-mapper kernel patches
-for 2.4.20, 2.4.21 and 2.4.22 onwards. 2.6 kernels already contain
-the device-mapper core, but (as at Feb 2004) you need to apply
-development patches if you want snapshot and pvmove functionality.
+The patches subdirectory also includes up-to-date device-mapper kernel
