yes, I've just recompiled and this second time was much faster ! to be more precise, here is the very small modification made to the file mentioned above : --- src/linux-5.4.23/block/blk-core.c 2020-02-28 17:22:29.000000000 +0100 +++ /tmp/blk-core.c 2020-03-03 14:25:56.049803851 +0100 @@ -799,7 +799,7 @@ "to read-only block-device %s (partno %d)\n", bio_devname(bio, b), part->partno); /* Older lvm-tools actually trigger this */ - return false; + return true; } return false; Le mar. 3 mars 2020 à 14:19, Caleb Maclennan <caleb@alerque.com> a écrit :

it's necessary to recompile completely even if the kernel I'm using is the same as the one I want to apply a small modification on ?
Yes.
The only small consolation is that once you compile it once and have a source tree that has been fully built on your system, further small changes and re-compiles will go much faster because it will figure out _some_ of the things it doesn't need to do again. I the case of the kernel, it still won't be fast.
