Package: vaiostat-source
Version: 1.2-7
Kernel: 2.6.18-1-686
First a bug I've seen for a while, then secondly one
or two details that should probably be made more
explicit in the instructions:
1) When I try to compile vaiostat-source, I get these
errors:
===START QUOTE====

Looking at line 329 and 332, the problem would appear
to be the MODULE_PARM entry. A quick google of it
suggested that it is deprecated:
http://lwn.net/Articles/107303/
So I comment both instances out and I get a good
compile:
===START QUOTE====
debian:/usr/src/modules/vaiostat# make clean
rm -f *.o *.ko *.mod.c .*.cmd
rm -f build-stamp
rm -f -r .tmp_versions
debian:/usr/src/modules/vaiostat# make
rm -f build-stamp

(Success)
2) I have to manually set these two env vars for it to
compile:
export KVERS=linux-headers-2.6.18-1
export KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-686
Thanks!
