arla & FreeBSD 5.0

Hi,
I compiled arla-35.11 on FreeBSD 5.0 and cannot find the 'startarla' script 
anywhere. I did not receive an error when compiling.
Thanks
Mike

I doubt that you didn't get a error-message.

Can you try, ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/arla/snap/arla-0.36pre17.tar.gz

I'm sure that that will make more happy.

ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/arla/binaries/0.36pre17/freebsd-5.0/arla-0.36pre17.tar.gz
might also do you good.

Re: arla & FreeBSD 5.0

Any advantage into installing the 0.36pre17 on a OS X 10.2.4 ?

Yes, 0.36 is must fast then 0.35 and have support for what we call
inc-open, that is fetching [0,n] of the file where n is how long the file
is or what the user requsted.

So copying files are quite a lot fasterq. However, since there some
fileformats with trailers (instead of headers) (avi,pdf) it doesn't always
help.

The pre17 kind of hints that we are trying to push for a release, and that
we find some bugs that the regression test does but users trigger.

You're welcome to try and if it works for you, or not, please tell us.

[OT] Kernel extentions

Hi,

I am trying to build a kernel extention that contains a VFS
layer.  I am using arla as an example and using a nullfs example
that has been put into a kernel extention in project builder.
Now I want to do everything from makefile and so I am following
arla's example but I cannot get the resulting extention to load.

It tells me that the extention contains no module code and refuses
to load.  What are the key characteristics of a kext that enables
it to load.  What does:  

        echo _xfs_mod > symb.tmp
>>	: -c symb.tmp tmp.o
	rm -f symb.tmp
	mv -f tmp.o xfs_mod.o

do to the resulting .o file??  Why is that necessary.

thanks
ttyl
Dima

You might want to look at a newer version (pre-releases of 0.36) of arla.

It might be so that the makefiles isn't completely up to date on loading on
Mac OS X, build the kernel module should be ok thougth. Do you get any help
in kmsg (print it with dmesg) when you try to load it ?

: is the 'null' command it does nothing. On some platforms the program
symorder needs to run on the object file to make possible to load it into
the kernel. On all platforms there there isn't a symorder program, we
replace it with the null command. MacOS X/Darwin doesn't use symorder.

If you look at the startarla script I think you'll understand better how

OS X 10.2.4 and Arla 0.35.11 get along

Hello all,

I have been running 0.35.11 on several machines and have updated one of 
them (this one) to OSX 10.2.4 with _no_ oddments when accessing my afs 
space. Others claim to be backward compatible, arla is forward 
compatible!

	t.

I think you should give part of the credits to the very cool 
people at Apple.

FreeBSD 5.0

What is the trick to getting arla-0.35.11 (or the latest arla-0.35.12
snapshot) to compile on FreeBSD 5.0.

I am getting stuck with:

In file included from ../../../arla-0.35.12/xfs/bsd/xfs_message.c:34:
../../../arla-0.35.12/xfs/bsd/xfs/xfs_locl.h:291:29: xfs/xfs_vopdefs.h: No
such file or directory

I have looked high and low for a xfs_vopdefs.h, but I can't track one
down. I have also checked the FAQ and did a few google searches, but
nothing was very enlightening. As it turns out, the file
arla-0.35.12/xfs/bsd/xfs/xfs_vopdefs.h is just a symlink to
../xfs_vopdefs.h (which doesn't exist).

I would be happy to provide my config.log (however I just used
../arla-0.35.11/configure from a directory that I created called
arla-build)

Below is the full message where 'make'...well...stopped making :-)

The trick is to use ftp://stacken.kth.se/pub/arla/snap/arla-0.36pre20.tar.gz
