Greetings all... let me first say you are the biggest bunch of geniouses I
have met :) After messing with several large file system packages for
Linux, XFS, even though in beta, has been the best out of them all, and a
true life saver in my organization! :)
The docs on the page were great, and the install went perfect... and XFS is
what I am pushing to all of our clients (and we have a lot).
I do have one question though, my expertise does not lie in Kernel
compilations and such, so here we go....
On our production machine we run VMWare for thin client access.... after I
installed the Kernel 2.4.test with XFS support from the RPMS rpms on the sgi
website, the system came up, and ran fine... VMWare needed to be recompiled
though... so, during the recompile it tells me the Kernel headers I have are
not compatible with my current running Kernel (I was at 2.2.14 - now at
2.4.test-XFSi686smp) which makes sense... so when I loaded the
xfsi386kernelheaders.rpm file, and tried to compile again, I got the same
error message, only this time is said the headers were for 2.4.test-XFSi386,
and I was running 2.4.testi686SMP) (the key being here SMP)...
Do you guys have available kernel headers for the SMP kernel, or should I go
ahead and just use the single processor kernel and stick with the stock
kernel header rpms?
It's a Dell PowerEdge 6300, 1 gig of ram, and 4 18 gig drives, dual PIII
Xeon's... I would prefer to keep the SMP, but the file size issue is more
important at this stage so I could give up SMP if I had to...
Any help appreciated, and keep up the great work!
Mike
