Package: module-init-tools
Version: 3.2-pre1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
I'm trying to get lustrefs working nicely but modprobe refuses to load
the modules so the normal lustre scripts fail. I think the reason is
that depmod refuses to follow any links when searching for
modules. The lustre modules are linked into the module dir and as they
are rather large I prefer to have them not on / so I don't like to
change that.
The attached patch follows symlinks except the build and source links
in the base directory.
MfG
Goswin
