As I briefly mentioned in the mail I sent regarding the aklog segment fault,
I have built openafs 1.4.0-rc8 using the openafs spec file setup, and
of course found the fatal aklog problem from the other thread, though
I knew almost immediately what the problem was, and patched it up.
I also patched the README and the openafs-client.init script the way I wanted
them to work, which means basically merging the original startup script
with the one used by the spec file. This also involves changing what
is put in /etc/sysconfig/openafs, and I have a patch for that also.
I finally got 1.4.0-rc8 working on my x86_64 box with the patches above.
The issue with up2date is that up2date will always want to install the
latest version of an rpm, and you are providing multiple rpms with the
same name with different versions and releases, By default up2date is
configured NOT to install kernel rpms without manual interaction of some
sort. It is very common to have systems updated with everything but the
kernel rpms. Since the openafs-kernel rpms require specific kernel versions,
the latest openafs-kernel rpm might well be higher in version than the
installed kernel. This will cause up2date to get an error when it
tries to install the latest openafs-kernel rpm. This may not be
a really bad problem if only these rpms are involved, but very often
redhat has updated other rpms, and if 'up2date -u' is invoked, it will
try to build a single rpm install stream, and if anything fails in it,
everything fails. There are other ways to get around this problem, though
they involve a lot of manual interaction.
I hope this clarifies things a bit, I would like to try actually putting
the new rpm structure on our proxy server, but because is only a proxy
server, it is overly complicated because we only have partial control
over it, since Redhat still manages the database for it. I may try later
to do so, but I just don't have time to do it now.
I'm attaching the 3 patches to this mail.
Karl Kelley

+To build the AFS kernel module on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 system,
+you first need to install the 'kernel-devel' RPM package for the version
+of the kernel you are running. Then run:
- ./configure
+ cd /usr/src/openafs-<openafs-version>/src
+ ./configure --with-linux-kernel-headers=/usr/src/kernels/VERSION
make
-When it's done, the binary module will be src/MODLOAD-XXX/libafs-XXX.o
+where VERSION corresponds to the version of the kernel you want to build
+the module for. (e.g. 2.6.9-5.0.3.ELsmp-x86_64)
+
+
+When it's done, the binary module will be src/libafs/MODLOAD-XXX/openafs.ko
and must be manually installed for your kernel. To do this you
-generally copy the file to /usr/vice/etc/modload:
+generally copy the file to /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/fs/openafs/:
+
+Note that the openafs directory may need to be created:
+ mkdir /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/fs/openafs
+
+ cp src/libafs/MODLOAD-XXX/openafs.ko /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/fs/openafs/openafs.ko
+
+(where <kernel-version> is the value of 'uname -r' e.g. 2.6.9-5.0.3.ELsmp )
+
+You should also strip the debugging symbols from the resulting module,
+else it will be vastly oversized:
+
+ chmod 744 /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/fs/openafs/openafs.ko
+ strip -g /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/fs/openafs/openafs.ko
+
+Now run depmod to rebuild modules.dep et. al.
- cp src/MODLOAD-XXX/libafs-XXX.o /usr/vice/etc/modload/
+ depmod -ae
-Then you need to add this module to your SymTable by using "afsmodname"
-to generate a new SymTable:
+Then you can reboot to activate the new openafs kernel module.
- cd /usr/vice/etc/modload
- ../afsmodname -f SymTable.local -g libafs-XXX.o
-
-NOTE: This only works if you have your kernel compiled with symbol
-version support. Without symbol version support you will not be able
-to choose kernel modules. If you compile without kernel module
-support then you need to remove the SymTable file from
-/usr/vice/etc/modload to allow the init scripts to choose a module
-based on 'uname -r' instead of /proc/ksyms. Keep in mind that using
-/proc/ksyms is MUCH better, so it is NOT recommended to use this
-method!
