Just like for Brien, the patch seems to work for me (not extensively
tested yet, but...) on an up-to-date Etch system with
linux-kernel-2.6.18-4-686. Please include the patch, the cluster
architecture is barely usable without it.
Brien, thanks for the encouragement, when I tried first I failed
patching properly, trying again with the unpatched gfs module without
any success, of course. Your comment made me try again, and succeed!
Here is my prodecure, which doesn't need all the build-deps and is
also much faster than rebuilding all the unrelated extra modules for
every possible arch:
aptitude install build-essential debhelper fakeroot redhat-cluster-source linux-support-2.6.18-4 linux-headers-2.6-686
mkdir ~/readhat-cluster
cd ~/redhat-cluster
apt-get source linux-modules-extra-2.6
cd linux-modules-extra-2.6-2.6.18
fakeroot debian/rules debian/build debian/stamps
fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen setup-i386-none-686-redhat-cluster
cd debian/build/build_i386_none_686_redhat-cluster/gfs
patch -p3 <~/redhat-cluster/gfs1-patch-2.6.18.diff
cd ../../../..
fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch-i386-none-686-redhat-cluster
And of course one has to skip gnbd.c. I couldn't find the gnbd kernel
module in any package, but I don't use it either.
