Hello, I'm trying hard to make a test config of OrangeFS. I have spent many nights to figure out what was going wrong.. but no chance to get it working.
Each attempt (and there were plenty !!) ends with inability to mount the FS, because the pvfs2.ko module refuse to load into the kernel (2.6.32). (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x86 : uname -a Linux ubuntu-server 2.6.32-30-generic-pae #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 23:01:33 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux) insmod: error inserting '/opt/orangefs/lib/modules/2.6.32.59+drm33.24/kernel/fs/pvfs2/pvfs2.ko': -1 Invalid module format I have been able to reproduce this error, systematically. Following is my test setup. Could you please try on your side, and tell me what should be done to success ? Thanks a lot !! 1. download the virtualbox image of Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS x86 http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu-server/ 2. unzip and open the image with virtualbox : sudo su root apt-get update 3. followed the install instruction from OrangeFS doc (and corrected some typos) http://www.omnibond.com/orangefs/docs/v_2_8_5/System_Requirements.htm apt-get install -y gcc flex bison libssl-dev libdb-dev linux-source perl make cd /usr/src/ tar -xjf linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2 cd linux-source-2.6.32 cp /boot/config-2.6.32-30-generic-pae .config make oldconfig make prepare make modules_prepare 4. followed the build instruction from OrangeFS doc : http://www.omnibond.com/orangefs/docs/v_2_8_5/Build_OrangeFS.htm cd /usr/src wget http://www.orangefs.org/downloads/2.8.6/source/orangefs-2.8.6.tar.gz tar -xzf orangefs-2.8.6.tar.gz cd orangefs-2.8.6 ./configure --prefix=/opt/orangefs --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32 make make install make kmod ---> displays a warning : WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions. make kmod_prefix=/opt/orangefs kmod_install 5. TRY TO LOAD THE MODULE INTO THE KERNEL : insmod `find /opt/orangefs -name pvfs2.ko` --> output the error : insmod: error inserting '/opt/orangefs/lib/modules/2.6.32.59+drm33.24/kernel/fs/pvfs2/pvfs2.ko': -1 Invalid module format Thanks a lot for any help to get this working, as it is making me mad ( I eventualy recompile the whole kernel, and all modules, but nothing change) Best regards, XSlite, from France
