[OpenAFS-devel] Linux debug symbols for kernel modules and cache manager

[Edgecombe, Jason]

Is adding debug symbols to a kernel module as simple as adding -g to the =
gcc command? If not, would you point me at a web page that shows how to =
compile the debug symbols with a kernel module.

Thanks,
Jason

Debug symbols for afsd are contained in the openafs-debuginfo package. =
We're not currently distributing debug symbols for kernel modules.

Patches for this are, of course, very welcome.
