Well, is the device-mapper module dm-mod not komptaibel anymore with my
device-mapper 0.96.08 ?
I did not get it to mount the LVM LVGs and device-mapper was very angry!
But I am not able to get the error message ATM, something with "function
not supportet, 2 " or so...
Just curious...

I got the same here. Backed out the device-mapper patches Joe Thornber
posted here, and now it works.
It looks like a problem with the cleanups, at least I didn't see any
ioctl interface change?

Yeah, I got the same. The message is something like
"ioctl cmd 2 No such address or device".
Joe, do we need to upgrade some tools or something here?

Ok, I think I found the problem.
In dm-ioctl.c in the function create this got changed:
- int minor;
+ unsigned int minor = 0;
...
- minor = (param->flags & DM_PERSISTENT_DEV_FLAG) ?
- minor(to_kdev_t(param->dev)) : -1;
+ if (param->flags & DM_PERSISTENT_DEV_FLAG)
+ minor = minor(to_kdev_t(param->dev));
So, the variable minor is 0 now instead of -1 when the device shouldn't
be persistent. That's bad because 0 is a valid minor.
And now, in dm.c in alloc_dev, called by dm_create
/* get a minor number for the dev */
- minor = (minor < 0) ? next_free_minor() : specific_minor(minor);
- if (minor < 0) {
+ r = (minor < 0) ? next_free_minor(&minor) :
specific_minor(minor);
+ if (r < 0) {
Here the minor is tested for being < 0 (which by the way can't be with
minor being unsigned, so this cleanup is bogus). The kernel always tries
to bind the new logical volume devices to the same minor, which of
course fails after the first one.
> Joe, do we need to upgrade some tools or something here?
No, because there are no new tools and the ioctl interface hasn't
changed (same dm-ioctl.h)

You are quite right. I am an idiot. I think the simplest way to fix
this is stop trying to overload the 'minor' argument to dm_create, and
instead have a seperate dm_create_with_minor function call.
ie.
int dm_create(struct dm_table *table, struct mapped_device **md);
int dm_create_with_minor(unsigned int minor, struct dm_table *table,
struct mapped_device **md);
I'm testing a patch for this now (with LVM this time, not just
dmsetup), and will post to the list in the next hour.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
- Joe

If I am seeing this right this changes were introduced in -mm8 (i.e. I
wanted to change the code and I saw the changes have already been done).
In spite of that, when I boot -mm8 the device-mapper is very angry :)
device-mapper ioctl cmd 2 failed:
No such device or address
Couldn't load device
'GinaWild-l_swp0'.
This is hopefully written down from screen correct so that the error
should be clear...

Sorry Christophe, first attempt went out directly to your e-mail adress,
