I tried to build the SAM-QFS source released a few months ago. There appear to be fatal flaws in the package as released.
I'm building on a stock install of snv_89. First, and perhaps the most important, the "san.c" file is missing from the "samfs" kernel module directory. The Build.mk makefile specifies it as part of the build, but it's not there. Now, it may be possible for the module to work properly without the missing code, but I'm skeptical that a SAN file system module missing source code from a file called "san.c" could safely be considered viable, although the "samfs" module does build. Second, the "aci.h" file is missing. From the failed references, I suspect it's from ADIC. But without it, the build fails to build a lot of utilities necessary to successfully run SAM-QFS. And the missing information is far too extensive to do without. It's possible other issues are lurking, but without the "aci.h" file, I really can't get any further. There are also some smaller problems that can be worked around. The biggest: two missing header files, "samsanergy/fsmdc.h" and "samsanergy/fsmdcsam.h" cause some issues. I suspect those files contain IBM/Tivoli-proprietary data, and their absence isn't difficult to work around as only a few typedef's are missing, and since the complex types are never dereferenced in the SAM-QFS code (at least as far as I've gotten into the build, anyway), just treating the pointers as opaque void pointers does work. I assume as long as I'm not trying to interface with SANergy, any home-compiled version of SAM-QFS would be fine without those headers.
