Hello XFS team,
In order to make XFS work on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4, using the stock
RH largesmp kernel (our server has 16 CPU's) I had to adapt the spec
file for the kernel-module-xfs source rpm you offer for download at
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/testing/RHEL4/kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-22.EL-0.1-1.src.rpm
The issue is that largesmp was not recognized as a kernel type, and with
the original specfile an RPM was build with a dependency
"requires kernel-smp = 2.6.9-67.0.1.ELlarge" where the dependency should
have been "requires kernel-largesmp = 2.6.9-67.0.1".
The fix was to add "largesmp" to the list of defined kernel_type at the
top of the .spec file. I also fixed a typo in this list (default instead
of deault). The new fixed spec file (kernel-module-xfs.spec), the
original spec file (kernel-module-xfs.spec.orig) and a diff between the
two (kernel-module-xfs.spec.patch are attached to this email.
For other users, it might be useful to include this in the next release.
Kind regards,
Mirjam van den Hout
