I need to run pvmove to remove a disk. Here's what happens:
# pvmove /dev/sdc1
FATAL: Module dm_mirror not found.
/sbin/modprobe failed: 1
mirror: Required device-mapper target(s) not detected in your kernel

So, I tried: #modprobe dm-mirror
FATAL: Module dm_mirror not found.

I've tried doing both compiled and module runs on Device Mapper Support on 2.6.24-gentoo-r8:
[*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) --->
<M> Device mapper support

And no dice. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

There should be some more options below Device Mapper...
Code:
  │ │    <*>   Device mapper support                               
  │ │    [ ]     Device mapper debugging support                   
  │ │    < >     Crypt target support                                   
  │ │    < >     Snapshot target                                         
  │ │    <M>     Mirror target                                         
  │ │    < >     Zero target                                           
  │ │    < >     Multipath target

Thanks,
At least it wasn't a borken config. Sometimes the settings change too much between kernel versions.
