Look into DKMS. It can be configured to rebuild kernel modules automagically when the kernel changes. Works fine for most of the parallel filesystem stuff we do, and that stuff gets really intimate with various bits of the kernel, far more so than the lin_tape driver does. Still, if IBM would document the ATL interface or provide a decent DFSMS RMM interface over TCP, we wouldn't have to mess with this driver idiocy release after release; we could just build it into 'mt' like the rest of the world has done. Or TSM could buy a clue and support the drives that most of us ACTUALLY have. There I go, thinking again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
