Bug#462835: [Fwd: Re: grub 1.96 svn 20080813 and circular lvm2 metadata]

[Felix Zielcke]

Hello Bharath and Jean-Luc,

I'm too lazy to write both of you a seperate mail ;)
Both your reports have to do with LVM and I'm not able to repdroduce
them and so to trace them down.
Luckly somebody else now saw a problem in the LVM module code.

Please try if the attached patch helps.

In case you don't know how to do it:

You may need a deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list for this apt-get
call:
apt-get build-depends grub2

svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/grub/trunk/grub2
cd grub2
patch -p1 < /path/to/circular-metadata.patch
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-grub/grub2/trunk/debian
export DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=".svn"
dpkg-buildpackage -b

If you still have problems compiling this then please feel free to send
me a mail in private (i.e. no CC @bugs.debian.org)
