Andy, there's no xattr support in unionfs for 2.6.18 (the VFS was lacking some vital support, I don't recommend it). So plz turn off CONFIG_UNION_FS_XATTR. Anyway, thanks to Konrad's rhel5 tarball, I produced now a unionfs-2.3.3 patch which applies and compiles cleanly on rhel5. See http://download.filesystems.org/unionfs/unionfs-2.x/unionfs-2.3.3_for_2.6.18-RHEL5.diff.gz Cheers, Erez. _______________________________________________ unionfs mailing list: http://unionfs.filesystems.org/ unionfs@mail.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu http://www.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/mailman/listinfo/unionfs
