I can confirm this is a probelm in 8.10. I updated just now (Nov 13th). Steps to reproduce: sudo modprobe aoe dmesg ........... [85898.044715] aoe: AoE v47 initialised. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo aoe-discover aoe-discover: /dev/etherd/discover does not exist or is not writeable. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /dev/ether* ls: cannot access /dev/ether*: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ It appears that udev has no rules for aoe whatsoever. Suggested possibilities for repair: 1) Put in udev rules. Probably best but I have no idea where to start. 2) Easy hack, change aoe-mkdevs so it doesn't sanity check (currently: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo aoe-mkdevs /dev/etherd aoe-mkdevs Error: udev detected. You shouldn't need to use aoe-mkdevs. aoe-mkdevs: Please see the aoe-mkdevs manpage. aoe-mkdevs: Exiting. )
Let them go under /dev/.static/dev/ or whatever, as long as the aoetools are self-consistant I don't see the harm, except from an aesthetic standpoint.) 3) Are there newer aoetools that just aren't in tree? the kernel aoe atuff is v47, aoetools is v26. For me severity is low. I thought I'd play with ata-over-ethernet a little. it doesn't work right now. I didn't have specific plans for it, I was just going to keep around with trying to share CD-ROMs, see if aoe over some ethernet gives xp the massive speedup I got when I put a bunch of XPs applications on a samba share instead of local. (I don't have an XP install any more, though so that might put a monkey in the wrench. 2 Gentoo and 4 Ubuntu systems 8-). ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix => New -- AoE module doesn't work with vblade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75179 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
