Hi Jens and other kernelhackers,
I'm now running 2.5.1 with lvm. The following patch makes some minor changes
for bio-support and removes allocation of a lv_t on the stack, which made
the stack overflow and gave me something to spend my last 24 hours
debugging.
I dont garantee that this will trash your disks, but probably it will.
It works for me, running my /var and /home on lvm.
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year
