Re: aufs working on 2.6.21.1 (x86-64)?

2007-05-23 Thread Tomas M

More unfortunately, I cound use 2.6.21(.1) since the sis900 nic driver
is broken. But it seems to be fixed already in git tree. I am waiting
for 2.6.21.2.


I think it will take long time.
Here is the patch for 2.6.21.1 sis900 driver, if you are interested.

 Hello,
 
 Michael Creel:
 I am attempting to update the kernel of the parallelknoppix64-rc1 live CD
 to use kernel 2.6.21.1 instead of 2.6.19.7. I updated aufs to yesterday's
 CVS and compiled the aufs.ko module as normal (make KDIR=/usr/src/linux -f
 local.mk).
 
 Everything seems to go well, but when the CD is booted (actually, I use
 VMware to boot the image), there is a failure at the point that the aufs
 filesystem is mounted, leading to a failure bad /proc/mounts 1 message.
 So I'm wondering if aufs is supposed to work with 2.6.21.1, x86_64, and I
 am doing something wrong, or if I just need to wait a bit for support to be
 added. Thanks, Michael
 
 Unfortunately, I don't have 64bit environment, so I didn't test aufs on 64bit
 personally. But some users reported to me or this ML that aufs is running
 fine. More unfortunately, I cound use 2.6.21(.1) since the sis900 nic driver 
 is broken. But it seems to be fixed already in git tree. I am waiting for
 2.6.21.2.
 
 About failure bad /proc/mounts 1, do you have /proc/mounts when you mounted
 aufs? If you don't, try -i option for mount(8). otherwise please send me your
 /proc/mounts.

I am trying this using VMware, and I can't grab screen output to paste into a
message, so I've made two screenshots showing what happens when booting. They
are at http://pareto.uab.es/mcreel/pk64-aufs.png and
http://pareto.uab.es/mcreel/pk64-aufs2.png In the first, you see that
/proc/mounts exists. The first shot is right before the attempt to mount the
aufs filesystem. The second show the last part of the errors, sorry I don't have
any means to capture the first part - it flies by to fast for me to see it.

Regards, Michael

According to pk64-aufs2.png, the message failure bad /proc/mounts 1 is
unrelated to your problem.
Can you capture the entire message at kernel panic?
Linux Tux is hiding them. :-)

I want to know whether the aufs debug message was printed or not.

2007-05-17 Thread Michael Creel
Sorry, I can't figure out how to do that. There is something that prints to 
screen, but I don't have time to read it. However, I notice that the latest 
Sidux test release for amd64 is using kernel 2.6.21.1 with aufs, so I think 
that 
the problem I'm seeing may be somewhere other than aufs. Thanks, Michael
