There is a thread in progress on the user's list about this issue:

http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-users/2008-January/002307.html

I think the summary is that you may be able to get away with this?

- make distclean
- configure
- manually clear the HAVE_KERNEL_DEVICE_CLASSES flag in pvfs2-config.h
- make

Hello

Is there any outstanding problem reports on using the kernel module in the latest Red Hat EL4 kernel.

I'm running linux-2.6.9-67.0.1-ELsmp on an Intel Core 2 duo, but cannot get the kernel module. Unfortunately, I've never used the kernel module before so I don't have much expertise in this area. While building I got a bunch or warnings like (the build log is attached):

  CC [M]  /root/pvfs-2.7.0/src/kernel/linux-2.6/devpvfs2-req.o
/root/pvfs-2.7.0/src/kernel/linux-2.6/devpvfs2-req.c: In function `pvfs2_dev_init': /root/pvfs-2.7.0/src/kernel/linux-2.6/devpvfs2-req.c:1037: warning: passing arg 2 of `class_device_create' makes integer from pointer without a cast /root/pvfs-2.7.0/src/kernel/linux-2.6/devpvfs2-req.c:1037: warning: passing arg 3 of `class_device_create' makes pointer from integer without a cast /root/pvfs-2.7.0/src/kernel/linux-2.6/devpvfs2-req.c:1037: warning: too many arguments for format /root/pvfs-2.7.0/src/kernel/linux-2.6/devpvfs2-req.c: In function `pvfs2_dev_cleanup': /root/pvfs-2.7.0/src/kernel/linux-2.6/devpvfs2-req.c:1050: warning: implicit declaration of function `class_device_destroy'

and on the install I get the following:

  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST
*** Warning: "class_device_destroy" [/root/pvfs-2.7.0/src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2.ko] undefined!
install -d //lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp/kernel/fs/pvfs2
install -m 755 src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2.ko //lib/modules/2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp/kernel/fs/pvfs2

install -m 755 src/apps/kernel/linux/pvfs2-client-core src/apps/kernel/linux/pvfs2-client /opt/pvfs-2.7.0/sbin

And then when I try to install the mod, I get the dmesg output:

pvfs2-set-debug[32686] trap divide error rip:b2c9e9 rsp:ffffd2cc error:0
pvfs2-set-debug[32687] trap divide error rip:b2c9e9 rsp:ffffd2cc error:0
pvfs2-set-event[32689] trap divide error rip:b2c9e9 rsp:ffffd2cc error:0
pvfs2: Unknown symbol class_device_destroy
pvfs2: Unknown symbol class_device_destroy

My guess is I need to hit a config flag, but I don't know which one to check.

Cheers,
Brad
