Quoting "Karl E. Kelley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I didn't want to try 1.4.0-rc5 on a system already running 1.4.0-rc7,
Well, you could try the 1.4.0 RPMs, as they've been finished. However
the real point was to make sure that you could rebuild my RPMS on
x86_64 and that they would work.
Also, the 1.4.0 RPMS are done. There's time to get changes into the
1.4.1 RPMs....
- The openafs-client rc script doesn't provide the cache and afsd
configuration that the rc script that has been supplied with openafs
previously, and only provides 2 configuration parameters, AFSD_ARGS
and
BOSSERVER_ARGS in /etc/sysconfig/openafs, not all the various
parameter
settings for routines in /etc/init.d/afs, which I found very
convenient
for providing a simple way to configure afsd. I hope these are put
back in before 1.4.x goes GA. If they don't, I will have to put them
back in myself and rebuild the rpms.
I dont understand what configuration you think you need that you
can't set in the AFSD_ARGS and BOSSERVER_ARGS. Could you please
let me know?
- The README in the openafs-kernel-source is quite out of date as far
as telling how to install a rebuilt openafs kernel module, which is
obviouly different now the the openafs kernel modules are actually
being installed in /lib/modules, instead of in /usr/vice/etc/modload.
Can you send me a patch for this, or at least suggest better text?
There's also the "rpmbuild -bb --target=i686 openafs...src.rpm" to
build a kernel-module RPM for the currently-running kernel.
- to reiterate, the multiple openafs-kernel modules will cause a problem
with up2date, and I realize why that was done, but the only way I can
see is to put only the lowest kernel versions on the proxy server
and force everyone to recompile their own openafs kernel module for
newer
kernels, which isn't as good as it works now.
Why will this cause a problem with up2date? Wont up2date already try
to install the most-recent kernel? As I asked in my last email, how
does up2date deal with the redhat-distributed LKM RPMS? Red hat must
have already solved this problem....
Other than the above, openafs 1.4.0-rc5 seems to be working on:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] uname -a
Linux motley.ait.iastate.edu 2.6.9-22.EL #1 Mon Sep 19 18:20:28 EDT
2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I was hoping to get an answer about x86_64, not x86. But thanks.
