[OpenAFS-devel] ppc64 / 1.3.85 / 2.6.5-7.191-pseries64 - afsd problem ? / compile error

[Marco Hoehle]

Building 1.3.85 on Power5 for PPC64 with SLES9 Kernel
2.6.5-7.191-pseries64.


During compilation of libafs for this kernel I got the flock64 error Frank
already described in February.
My workaround was just another IFDEF in src/afs/afs.h to use the struct
flock instead of struct flock64.
After this ugly patch the compilation was working and one can load the
module.

It says, that libafs cannot find the address of the system call table, but
it continues anyway.
In the earlier package provided from Sven Oehme for ppc (1.3.81 for
2.6.7.111.19 kernel) this behaviour was the same but it is anyway working.
Also in /proc/kallsyms libafs is in, so it may work.

But when loading afsd  the following errors were thrown out ....

The Point seems to be the :      Error -1 in basic initialization
It does not fork the processes - only the afsd is running but forking nothing and waiting for a SIGKILL ...


font:/opt/devel/openafs-1.3.85/src/afsd # ps -aef | grep afs

Any Ideas - patches I missed/ forgott ??

Thanks  in advance
