Ok, it compiles, but the kernel module doesn't load with undefined symbol "_afs_symhint_inval". After grepping through the source tree, the _only_ place where I can find the string "afs_symhint_inval" anywhere in the code is like 884 of src/afs/ afs_vcache.c, so I'm guessing it's a merge artifact from somewhere. I'll try commenting it out and recompiling to see how that goes.

I think it is.

Nuke it.

I nuked it, and now the module loads fine, but due to a defect in my startup script I managed to start afsd twice without a /afs directory. Now I'm in this interesting situation:

hc6524e32:/ root# umount /afs
umount: unmount(/afs): Operation not supported on socket
hc6524e32:/ root# mkdir /afs
mkdir: cannot create directory `/afs': No such file or directory
hc6524e32:/ root# rmdir /afs
rmdir: `/afs': No such file or directory
hc6524e32:/ root# touch /afs
touch: creating `/afs': No such file or directory
hc6524e32:/ root# afsd -shutdown
afsd: Shutting down all afs processes and afs state
afsd: AFS still mounted; Not shutting down

At this point I tried to killall afsd with no luck, even -KILL didn't do anything. A quick top shows that afsd is now hogging 100% CPU, which I noticed because all the fans suddenly spun up (yay for multiproc boxen, I can still work!) I don't know if it was doing this before or after I kill -9'ed it.

This seems bug-ish, and I suspect I'm going to have to reboot. Once I get back to a sane state again, I'll let you know how things are going.

Cheers,

Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/ philosophy/) software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer:

"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why I draw cartoons. It's my life."
