I modded openafs-kernel-version.sh to do the echo, and exit before final case clause where it strips of the smp, and surely enough it seems to do the right thing now. -Matt Derek Atkins wrote: > Replying to my own post... What happens if you modify this file so > that it > returns the kernel v

Replying to my own post... What happens if you modify this file so that it returns the kernel version before stripping off the kernel config mnemonic? Does that cause it to build the correct kernel module for you? -derek Quoting Derek Atkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Yes, the idea is that 'rpmb

Yes, the idea is that 'rpmbuild -ba' without any arguments should create a module for the currently-running kernel.. But I think there's a problem with that. Can you run: /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/openafs-kernel-version.sh This will tell me what it's printing out for the kernel. I suspect thi

I'm also trying to build the 1.4.0rc5 SRPMS on an RHEL 4 amd64 machine(actually centos4.1, but basically the same). and am seeing that only one openafs-kernel rpm is built, and that it contains only /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.EL/kernel/fs/openafs/openafs.ko I am running the 2.6.9-11.ELsmp kernel, but h

Hi, Let's focus on RHEL4 for the moment, okay? 1) What rpmbuild command do you give? 2) What's the first 20 lines of output from rpmbuild? -derek Kurt Seiffert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I'm trying to work with the SRPM's for 1.4.0rc5.  > > We are compiling IBM xSeries 346 with Xeon cpu's. W

Because we had to adapt the openssi kernel and make some changes in OpenAFS to have a good shot a compiling it and make it work. The patches we have are for that version. After I have this one working I'll work on 1.4.0rc6. Ron >Why are you building 1.2.13 instead of 1.4.0rc6? > >-derek > >Quoti

Hello all, I am trying to compile OpenAFS using "rpmbuild -ba ." Anyway, the running kernel is: 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl.afs_ssi_9smp but somehow it compiles it for an older kernel I used, 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl_ssi_9smp. So probably I need to change something somewhere, do I need to change the spec

Re: [OpenAFS] Changing reserved block on ext3 with fs running

2005-10-05 Thread Tim Spriggs
Isn't there something about needing a small percentage of space to be able to keep the ext3/ext2 filesystem from fragmenting too much? Does this apply here? Also, is there a problem with running on ext3? I only ask because I know openafs can not use journaling filesystems under Solaris. Thanks,

[OpenAFS] Changing reserved block on ext3 with fs running

2005-10-05 Thread Stephan Wonczak
Hi list! Quick googling turned up nothing useful, so here goes. While installing a couple of new fileservers on Linux, we created several huge vice-partitions, using ext3 on these. Since we were in a bit of a hurry, we did not tune the mkfs-parameters, so we are left with the defaults. We can
