Hi Kai,

We wanted to try out clustered Samba on a pair of small OpenSolaris/

boxes. But after downloading the CTDB source from the Samba git
repository,
I discovered that it won't build on Solaris -- the configure script
supports
only Linux and AIX.
Is there a Solaris port for CTDB, or is somebody working on one? (If
not,
I might take a crack at it; would it be a straightforward port?)
AFAIK, noone is working on it.
If I am not missing something, this basically consists in writing
the OS-specific part for the network routines under
common/system_xyz.c
Please check out master from git://git.samba.org/ctdb.git
I guess we should/could use the samba libreplace system to
make the network layer portable.
But there is more to it than extending the C code:
There is a set of event scripts under config/events.d which are
actually linux-only (using linux commands like ip ...).
To my knowledge these only work under linux, not under aix either.
So, if you want to have a go at fixing CTDB for ctdb, then
you are highly welcome! We will gladly review and help.
Out of curiosity: What file system are you planning to use on the
cluster?
Cheers - Michael
