If this is a standard distribution kernel, then it's massively out of date, and you *really* need to upgrade it. If it's a heavily- backported enterprise kernel, then it's probably still quite out of date, but less so (and you should take advice from whoever you pay for your support contract about whether it's supported/reliable/sane to use it). However, that's just our usual warning, and isn't related to your problem below... > [root@ol6 src]# git clone > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs.git > Initialized empty Git repository in /usr/local/src/btrfs-progs/.git/ > remote: Counting objects: 3539, done. > remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1289/1289), done. > remote: Total 3539 (delta 2633), reused 3015 (delta 2246) > Receiving objects: 100% (3539/3539), 1.02 MiB | 613 KiB/s, done. > Resolving deltas: 100% (2633/2633), done. > > [root@ol6 src]# cd btrfs-progs > [root@ol6 btrfs-progs]# pwd > /usr/local/src/btrfs-progs > > [root@ol6 btrfs-progs]# make > [LD] mkfs.btrfs > mkfs.o: In function `is_ssd': > /usr/local/src/btrfs-progs/mkfs.c:1234: undefined reference to > `blkid_probe_get_wholedisk_devno' > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make: *** [mkfs.btrfs] Error 1 You need libblkid-devel (or whatever your distribution calls the development package for libblkid).
