Hello,
I am really glad to see that autofs is finally being updated to one
that works in a multi-OS environment. Autofs
has long been a weak link into the standard Unix environment and this
version fixes many of the issues I have had
with v4 and getting the company to switch to Linux because Linux wasn't
plug and play with the Solaris automounter.
I am getting a error patching the kernel in Rhel-4.
The kernel being used is 2.6.9-5.ELsmp, I have installed the
corresponding source rpm and unpacked the kernel.
A transcript of the error is:
patching file fs/namei.c
Hunk #4 FAILED at 635.
Hunk #5 succeeded at 752 (offset 6 lines).
1 out of 6 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file fs/namei.c.rej
All of the other files used in the patch are patched correctly. The
namei.c file is the only one
that doesn't patch.
This is the error file made by patch.
cat namei.c.rej

goto done;
need_revalidate:
+ if (dentry->d_op->d_revalidate(dentry, nd))
+ goto done;
+ if (d_invalidate(dentry))
+ goto done;
+ dput(dentry);
+ goto need_lookup;
fail:
return PTR_ERR(dentry);
Also, I couldn't find any information on what the flock patches are for
in the documentation.
I have been able to build the kernel and autofs using Suse 10.1 and
Sled 10 but not Rhel-4.
