Package: raidutils Version: 0.0.6 Severity: important Tags: patch The raidutils package builds on most or all current debian architectures, but it doesn't work on any 64 bit arch.
This is because the ioctl() interface of the i2o layer in the kernel isn't 64 bit clean. Neither is the code in raidutils. Fortunately though, the kernel 32 bit compatibility layer does work. So, if you run a 32-bit i2o management app on a 64-bit kernel, it works just fine. The patch below builds the raidutils on amd64 in 32-bit mode, so that it actually works. It does give some build warnings which probably should be looked at - but it works. In addition, the patch makes sure that the raidutils package is built for just i386 and amd64 - it supports only the Adaptec DPT ZCR controllers, which can only be found on x86 boards as far as I know. I'm not sure if the severity of this report should be important or grave. In my case, not having a working management app means not being able to monitor the raid status, which could result in data loss, so 'grave' might be appropriate. I've left it as 'important' for now. # ---------------------------------------- diff -ruN t/raidutils-0.0.6/debian/control raidutils-0.0.6/debian/control --- t/raidutils-0.0.6/debian/control 2008-04-21 00:56:34.000000000 +0200 +++ raidutils-0.0.6/debian/control 2008-04-21 01:20:58.000000000 +0200 @@ -2,12 +2,12 @@ Section: admin Priority: optional Maintainer: Barak A.
