Recent changes to the kernel include the removal of the nr_hw_segments member of the struct request, but the "special" member is set aside for drivers to use, so the prerelease at the URL below uses that member instead. http://support.coraid.com/support/linux/tmp/aoe6-66-67pre4.diff This experimental driver includes some unrelated changes described in the NEWS file. It builds for me on an x86_64 openSUSE 11.1 VM. If you decide to try this prerelease, please let me know how it works for you. -- Support - http://support.coraid.com/support/howto.html Ed Cashin <ecas...@coraid.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Aoetools-discuss mailing list Aoetools-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/aoetools-discuss
