Hello all,
Our OS team tried to upgrade the RedHat Enterprise Linux servers.
Originally they stated the new kernel level was 78.0.1, so our senior
coworker obtained the OpenAFS packages we needed for that kernel. He
downloaded kmod-openafs-smp-1.4.7-1.1.2.6.9_78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm,
kmod-openafs-1.4.7-1.1.2.6.9_78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm, and
kmod-openafs-hugemem-1.4.7-1.1.2.6.9_78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm. However, when
they (the OS team) updated the kernel, they upgraded it to 78.0.5, and
being this server an OpenAFS fileserver, they decided to not install the
AFS packages above, because they did not know if those were the correct
packages for OpenAFS.
The senior member has left the company, but did not tell us how to
determine what OpenAFS packages work with what Linux kernel. So, I have
two questions:
How do I determine what OpenAFS packages are needed for a given OS
kernel, and/or
what specific packages do I need for RedHat Enterprise Linux 78.0.5?
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
