Patches for 2.4 kernels + 2.4.21-dm-3 for EVMS 2.1.1. See the top-level INSTALL
for more details. Apply each patch with:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/  (or 20 or 19)
patch -p1 < filename.patch

dm-bbr.patch:
	Patch to provide a Bad-Block-Relocation target for Device-Mapper.
	Required if you want to use BBR devices.

dm-snapshot.patch:
	Extra patch for DM snapshot code. Allows origin devices to be correctly
	activated before their snapshot devices. Required if you want to use
	snapshots with EVMS.

dm-sparse.patch:
	Patch to provide a Sparse-device target for Device-Mapper. Only
	necessary if you intend to use Sparse devices. Since these are
	primarily for testing purposes, it's unlikely that you will need this
	patch. :)

jfs.patch
	Patch to allow JFS to properly update its superblock during a
	write_super_lockfs(). Required if you intend to take snapshots of
	volumes with JFS filesystems. Not needed on 2.4.19, since JFS wasn't
	included until 2.4.20. This patch has been merged into the 2.4.22-pre
	kernel tree.

list.patch
	Patch to backport the list_for_each_entry() macro from 2.4.20 to 2.4.19.
	This patch is only necessary when using a 2.4.19 kernel.

md-raid.patch:
	Patch to allow RAID-1 and RAID-5 devices to properly shutdown at
	reboot time. Required for Software-RAID users, unless you want your
	RAID arrays to resync on each reboot. :) This patch has been merged
	into the 2.4.22-pre kernel tree.

md-multipath.patch
	Patch to the multipath personality in the MD driver to properly
	perform I/O load-balancing. You do want to load-balance, don't you?

vfs-lock.patch
	Patch to add VFS-locking code. Required for using snapshots with
	journalled filesystems. This version of the VFS-lock patch should only
	be applied when using a 2.4.19 or 2.4.20 kernel. 2.4.21 users will
	already have the appropriate patches from the 2.4.21-dm-3 package. See
	the INSTALL file for details.

vfs-lock-xfs.patch
	An extra patch for users with an XFS-enabled 2.4 kernel. This patch
	fixes the DQUOT_SYNC rename bug, and should be applied after the
	regular VFS-lock patch.
