Since you just touched the subject near my heart, I feel I need to drop a few lines, too. Mostly questions... I think I answered that above. You're doing something very nonstandard - trying to use replication to provide failure recovery for volumes that are RW by nature. The replication

No compilation problem at all on my 2.6.15-gentoo-r2 on amd64. I think vanilla-sources-2.6.12.5 should work as well, but vanilla-sources-2.6.11.12 seems not to provide the symbol you're missing. Guess you're stuck somewhere in between those last two, before the symbol was introduced. Stefaan

Does it define THREAD_IA32? I only see INIT_THREAD_IA32, and that's in include/asm-ia64/processor.h. (On both new and old kernels) Stefaan ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
