Hi,
Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hello All,
I'm trying to install the AFS client on my CentOS 4 machine. I downloaded
the following rpms for RHEL4:
openafs-1.4.1
openafs-kernel-source-1.4.1
openafs-client-1.4.1
openafs-compat-1.4.1
Why not openafs-kernel-XXX for your particular kernel version?
I did rpm -i for them in that order. I then go to
/usr/src/openafs-kernel-1.4.1/ and the README states to do:
./configure
make
When it's done, the binary module will be src/MODLOAD-XXX/libafs-XXX.o and
must be manually installed for your kernel
It looks like make runs fine but there is no src/MODLOAD-XXX/, but there
is libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.9-34.EL-SP/
Well, duh! XXX is "fill in the blank"
Within there, there is no libafs-XXX.o, but a libafs-2.6.9-34.EL.ko.
The only real change here is ".ko" vs. ".o".. This is a 2.4 vs. 2.6 change.
The docs were written awhile ago and 2.6 changed the kernel module extension
to .ko. The docs weren't updated...
It says I'm supposed to copy the .o file to /usr/vice/etc/modload, but
neither /usr/vice/etc/modload or the .o file exists. So I figure just
create the modload dir and copy the .ko file over. Then I'm supposed to
use afsmodname to add the module to my SymTable but afsmodname doesn't
exist. Where did I go wrong? Did I miss an rpm?
No, Yes, Maybe... You could have just used the pre-built kernel module
RPMs.. Or you could rebuild the SRPM into a kernel RPM (this has been
discussed numerous times on this list).
The docs are COMPLETELY wrong here. You should copy the kernel module
to /lib/modules/.../openafs.ko and then you should run 'depmod -ae'.
There is no afsmodname anymore, nor /usr/vice/etc/modload.. Modules
are stored in the standard Linux Location in /lib/modules/
Sounds like all I need is to incorporate AFS into the kernel somehow.
Yep.
The documentation on openafs.org refers to the AFS_CDROM...
