RE: open from kernel

["santhosh kumar" <santhosh.kumar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, i have XFS fileystem support. I am able to open the file, but my read 
fails. The operations in user-space works.
 
I think i am missing something before calling read. (Note: i am doing 
set_fs(KERNEL_DS), before calling read.
 
Thanks
Santhosh

        You need a kernel with XFS filesystem support to be able read files from
        XFS filesystems.
        
        if you "cat /proc/filesystems" does it contain the xfs string?

        It might just be your lucky day, if you only knew.
