We use this driver for our self-configuring instances. We'll stay tuned for any
new developments.

I'm still in a state of relocation.
The code that WAS under construction is on a backup CD somewhere.
Might be in storage.   One request that I hope to satisfy soon
is for an RPM.   But there was a change in core VFS after 2.4.19
which will take some time to assilimilate.   Util is fine.
Driver has hearburn in 2.6 land.

As he said, the utilities, cmsfslst, cmsfscat, etc. work, just not the
kernel file system driver.  Were you using the driver to mount the
minidisk, or were you using the utilities?

We use the driver to mount the CMS 191 disk, then copy in a configuration setup
file, then umount. No one here has looked at the utilities, but something tells
me I should.

Re: CMSFS for SLES9 390x

2006-01-26 Thread Rick Troth
I've used the driver (yes, to MOUNT stuff)
extensively so that I can then loopback mount
multiple EXT2 filesystems from a large, shared, R/O CMS minidisk.
So I personally miss the driver in the newer kernels.

Yeah: just do cmsfscat against the device, and save yourself two steps.

What you've seen is what is available.  If you've run into problems
compiling it, you should report it to the author, Rick Troth.  I'm sure
he'll be interested in fixing it.

Hi All,

What is the recommended download of CMSFS for this platform? The tar and
executables I've seen are a few years old and need some tweaking.
Thanks.

Btw rick, newer 2.6.x. kernels do have FUSE (filesystems in
userspace environment), and I guess both SuSE and RH will have
it in their next distros. I believe CMSFS and FUSE would fit
together very well - and the FUSE interface is kernel ABI, thus
it will work with any future kernel version...

just thinking loud here...
