Hi,
We have been using this in production for some time, with all the 2.4
kernels since 2.4.17 and it has been stable. Our version is at
http://www.hardrock.org/kernel/2.4.20
You will have to follow the patch-order file and make sure to apply the ext3
patch first as it will be required to use the LVM patch.
BTW, we are still using LVM version 1.0.5.
