Re: Linux Alpha port: LVM
Is LVM working on the alpha port 2.6 kernel series ? works fine for me. Are you using a redhat based distro (like suse, mandrake, alpha core or indeed redhat )? Are you using stock kernel, libraries and tools or did you haveto build them yourself ? Debian comes with LVM1 tools that do not work with 2.6 kernels so I need to compile them myself or install some ready build binary package for alpha processor and compatible with the libraries that come with debian3. What alpha architecture are you running on ? If so where do I get libdevmapper so that I can build the userspace LVM utils ? I tryied downloading ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/dm/multipath-toolsmultipath-tools-0.4.3.tar.bz2 what do you think the 'dm' in that url stands for, hm? But I fail to compile it so I'm also unable tu build the userspace lvm utils. 'userspace lvm utils' can be found here: ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2 multipath tools might be something different ... :) It may also have something more but it has libdevmapper in it ... In any case I also tried downloading and compiling device-mapper.1.00.07.tgz from the link in the LVM2. It builds and installe fine but I still get compilation errore when I build LVM2. Configute is fine, here are a few lines concerning libdevmapper checking libdevmapper.h usability... yes checking libdevmapper.h presence... yes checking for libdevmapper.h... yes but when I try to compile: gcc -c -I. -I../include -DLVM1_INTERNAL -DPOOL_INTERNAL -DCLUSTER_LOCKING_INTERNAL -DSNAPSHOT_INTERNAL -DMIRRORED_INTERNAL -DDEVMAPPER_SUPPORT -DO_DIRECT_SUPPORT -DHAVE_LIBDL -DHAVE_GETOPTLONG -fPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -O2 cache/lvmcache.c -o cache/lvmcache.o activate/activate.c: In function `target_present': activate/activate.c:303: error: `DM_DEVICE_LIST_VERSIONS' undeclared (first use in this function) activate/activate.c:303: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once activate/activate.c:303: error: for each function it appears in.) activate/activate.c:314: warning: implicit declaration of function `dm_task_get_versions' activate/activate.c:314: warning: nested extern declaration of `dm_task_get_versions' activate/activate.c:314: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast activate/activate.c:319: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ... same message repeated many times ... make[1]: *** [activate/activate.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/LVM2.2.01.09/lib' make: *** [lib] Error 2 I'm using kernel 2.6.11.7 downloaded from kernel.org.

Re: Linux Alpha port: kernel panik under moderate DISK IO conditions
I'm not using the qlogic controller as boot controller. I'm mooting from the internal disk connected to LSI controller. In any case I'll try out the suggested 1280 right now. Can I build a modular kernel with the 2.6 kernel series ? I would find it handy to have som parts colpiled as modules. -- Regards Davide Rao Client/server Unix Atos Origin Via C.Viola - Pont St. Martin (AO) Italy Cell : +39 3357599151 Tel : +39 125810433 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Richard Henderson wrote: On Fri, Apr 08, 2005 at 04:57:11PM +0200, Rao Davide wrote: My name is David Rao and I have an old alpha DS10 ds10 (ev6 Tsunami-webbrick cpu) with internal HDU on a LSI controller and external HSZ80 storage attached to a Qlogic. Well, the CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_ISP driver isn't supported, and you may have noticed prints big warning messages when you boot with it. Fortunately, the CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_1280 driver has been extended to handle the 1020 and 1040 devices. I've been using that for a while now on my ds10. r~ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
