I posted my thoughts on this question as a response to another thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dazuko-devel/2008-10/msg00003.html > 2) SuSE has a dazuko .src.rpm based on redirfs-0.2 and dazuko > 2.3.4.4 (presumably 2.3.5-pre1, to support redirfs), hence it's a > little out of date, plus building it against the current > 2.6.25.16 kernel works, but the modules don't load, with unknown > symbol errors.

As far as I know, they are interested in pursuing the redirfs/dazuko direction to maintain support for Dazuko. If you are interested in using the SuSE kernel, then I recommend also using the Dazuko package provided by SuSE. > 3) Building the tarballs for dazuko 2.3.6-pre2 and redirfs-0.3 > works, and the modules load, but antivir complains > "antivir[29092]: Error: Unable to setup Dazuko parameters" - I > get the feeling it can't talk to /dev/dazuko, which has major > 250. I do not know why antivir would be having a problem. If the module loads (and the example program works), then antivir should be happy. The Dazuko interface was not changed in 2.3.6-pre2. I recommend contacting Avira support for this issue. > 4) I can't get any version of nullfs to compile on openSuSE > 11.0. Have you tried that combination?

The various nullfs versions were developed to support the following kernels from kernel.org: nullfs 0.0.1 -> Linux 2.6.21 nullfs 0.0.2 -> Linux 2.6.25 nullfs 0.0.3 -> Linux 2.6.25 nullfs 0.0.4 -> Linux 2.6.26 Although your kernel seems to be based on Linux 2.6.25, it obviously uses a modified VFS API. Since the new DazukoFS 3.0.0-rcX is identical to nullfs when no groups have been added, I prefer to deal with this issue in respect to DazukoFS and no longer work with nullfs.
