Hello Emmanuel, I was too fast: the kernel module does compile but cannot be loaded. When using insmod I get Error: could not insert module pvfs2.ko: Invalid module format Apparently this error is du to a version mismatch. The installed kernel sources are for version 3.2.54 (and thus modinfo gives 3.2.54 for the version in pvfs2.ko) while my distribution is 3.2.0-4-amd64.
I upgraded my kernel to 3.12.9 by doing apt-get install linux-image-3.12-1-amd64 apt-get install linux-headers-3.12-1-amd64 Then rebooted on the new kernel and followed you procedure with linux-source-3.12 instead of 3.2 (this gives me a linux-3.12.9 in /usr/src, I don't know why again the version is different from that of the kernel...). After all the configuration (copying the configuration from /boot, and the series of make) I tried to compile pvfs and this time I get configure: error: The kernel source tree must have been configured. Apparently in the configure script, it looks for include/linux/version.h, which is not there. Any idea how to solve that? (either the problem of version mismatch with 3.2 or the kernel not configured for 3.12) Thank you, Matthieu Dorier PhD student at ENS Rennes http://people.irisa.fr/Matthieu.Dorier ----- Mail original ----- > De: "Matthieu Dorier" <[email protected]> > À: "Emmanuel Florac" <[email protected]> > Cc: "pvfs2-users" <[email protected]> > Envoyé: Mercredi 12 Février 2014 18:28:15 > Objet: Re: [Pvfs2-users] Compiling kernel module of orangefs 2.8.7 for > kernel 3.2 > > Indeed reinstalling the kernel sources made it work.
