Again, kind of a success report:
The only major build problem (kernel 2.6.18-1.2747.el5) was the return of
tasklist_lock (SGI need it, et voila...) - alas, GPL-only:
LD [M] /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openafs-1.4.2/src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.18-1.2747.el5-MP/libafs.o
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST
FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module libafs.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'tasklist_lock'
make[6]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
I removed all uses of tasklist_lock, leaving only the else-branches
calling rcu_read_[un]lock in place. 1.4.2 then builds and works.
Other observations:
- df -H shows "0.0k" on my amd64 system, and "166Y" on x86 (I now learned
that a Yottabyte is 1k Zetabytes...)
- "umount /afs" takes unusually long, maybe 30 or 60 seconds - sometimes
Any comments on those? (preferrably like "don't worry, that's ok" ;-) ?
