Dear OpenAFS, We're trying to update our "precise" ubuntu systems with openafs-1.6.15. The standard distributions don't have recent Openafs (esp. 1.6.15) and the launchpad PPA apparently doesn't work with this old kernel (something about C library, I think). (It works for "trusty" but not "precise")
I tried to build from source (./configure --with-linux-kernel-packaging) with simple "make; make install". The new kernel module was placed in /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/extra/openafs/openafs.ko leaving the old kernel module in /lib/2.6.32-5-amd64/fs/openafs.ko. Barging ahead, I unwisely moved the new kernel module into the place where the old kernel was, and restarted openafs-client. The kernel seg-faulted badly with very little information: ... Message from syslogd@lager at Nov 5 20:07:10 ... kernel:[1161607.941495] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Message from syslogd@lager at Nov 5 20:07:10 ... kernel:[1161607.941499] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/afs/uevent ... The machine was unresponsive and had to be rebooted in single-user mode and the module removed. So it seems that: (1) The directions to just "make install" doesn't work, and (2) I built the new kernel module wrong. "make" doesn't do the job. Are there some instructions I should be following rather than http://wiki.openafs.org/HowToBuildOpenAFSFromSource/ ?
