After a 'yum update', i got a new kernel. So i compiled a new openafs-1.6.0 to get an up-to-date /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs* Doing insmod /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs* i get the error: insmod: error inserting '/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.6.18-274.17.1.el5.mp.ko' : -1 Unknown symbol in module
From /var/log/messages:
Feb 12 16:31:33 slinux kernel: libafs: Unknown symbol find_exported_dentry Feb 12 16:31:33 slinux kernel: libafs: Unknown symbol export_op_default This is also in dmesg output. Doing an strace insmod /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.6.18-274.17.1.el5.mp.ko, i get: .... read(3, "\1h\3\0\0\3#\304\v\21\204\32\35\0]\326\1h\3\0\0\3#\310\v\21\206\356\34\0]\327"..., 4194304) = 4194304 mremap(0xb7016000, 8392704, 16781312, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0xb6015000 read(3, "ountroot\0sk_clone_security\0C_SRX"..., 8388608) = 4397529 read(3, "", 3991079) = 0 close(3) = 0 init_module(0xb6015008, 12786137, "") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "insmod: error inserting '/usr/vi"..., 110insmod: error inserting '/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.6.18-274.17.1.el5.mp.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module ) = 110 exit_group(1) = ? So 'init_module' throws an error. My environment: The disk was originally installed from a livecd (Thanks to Urs Beyerle @ethz ! ) : cat /etc/livecd-release 3.0.2 The OS is: cat /etc/redhat-release Scientific Linux SL release 5.4 (Boron) uname -a yields: Linux slinux 2.6.18-274.17.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jan 10 16:18:40 EST 2012 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux The kernel version is shown here as 2.6.18-274.17.1.el5 After the upgrade to this kernel version and a reboot (to get the new kernel headers accessible), i did: tar -xvzf openafs-1.6.0-src.tar.gz cd openafs-1.6.0/ ./configure --enable-transarc-paths --enable-tivoli-tsm --enable-supergroups make make dest ln -s `pwd`/i386_linux26/dest/root.server/usr/afs/bin /usr/afs/bin-1.6.0 ln -s /usr/afs/bin-1.6.0 /usr/afs/bin ln -s /Data/openafs-1.6.0/i386_linux26/dest /usr/afsws-1.6.0 ln -s /usr/afsws-1.6.0 /usr/afsws ln -s /usr/vice/etc-1.6.0 /usr/vice/etc (cd /usr/vice/etc-1.4.14.1; cp -p CellServDB.mini ThisCell cacheinfo CellServDB StartAFS /usr/vice/etc/ ) After the /usr/afs/bin/bosserver is running, i call the (private) executable /usr/vice/etc/StartAFS with contents: : insmod /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.6.*.ko /usr/vice/etc/afsd -stat 4000 -dcache 4000 -daemons 6 -volumes 256 Here, the insmod /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.6.18-274.17.1.el5.mp.ko gets the error shown above: insmod: error inserting '/usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.6.18-274.17.1.el5.mp.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module As a workaround, i did: insmod /usr/vice/etc-1.4.14.1/modload/libafs-2.6.18-274.17.1.el5.mp.ko (succeded) The bosserver (1.6.0) is running: root@slinux# l /usr/afs/bin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 12 14:42 /usr/afs/bin -> /usr/afs/bin-1.6.0 root@slinux# ps -eaf|grep boss root 31276 1 0 16:10 ? 00:00:00 /usr/afs/bin/bosserver Now. with /usr/vice/etc -> /usr/vice/etc-1.6.0 , i get: /usr/vice/etc/afsd -stat 4000 -dcache 4000 -daemons 6 -volumes 256 afsd: All AFS daemons started. That is, almost everything works with 1.6.0, except the insmod of /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.6.18-274.17.1.el5.mp.ko This Sientific-Linux Release is compatible with the equivalent CENTOS or RHEL (maybe also FEDORA)- Can someone help in this modload issue?
