I did not make it the default, because I was thinking most users are using older kernels and if they are grabbing the tarballs on open-iscsi.prg want the updated kernel modules built. Is this ok? What about splitting up the kernel from the userspace parts in different tarballs/trees? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.

Something I wanted for a while. It is expected for out-of-tree Kernel modules to constantly break at the development edge. What happens today is that I can't finish compiling and installing user-mode tools, if Kernel does not compile. I want to submit a patch that will not force Kernel module compilation by default, but only if say we do "make kernel". Since for me 99% of the time I just want to update on the user-mode, and I'm using the Kernel modules that come from the Kernel I'm using. Is that OK?

The kernel modules need to be updated for the new APIs. I have done this to the code in git: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mnc/open-iscsi.git I am preparing to do a new release when I finish up integrating some patches from Fedora, converting code to use strlcat and strlcpy, and fix some bugs in the iface printing code. I was planning on having this done by 2.6.29 (so the new release will have 2.6.28 and .29 support). I know this does not help you much. But the upstream 2.6.28.2 kernel is up to date with 870.1 (.2 just has one fix that 2.6.28 does not for memory leak), so you could just use those kernel modules and then use the userspace tools from open-iscsi-2.0-870.2 and you would probably be fine. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
