I wanted to try it out with a 2.4.10 kernel.
After looking at the imon patches for 2.4.0, I determined that it was
all addded files except for namei.c which is patched.

I would suggest starting with the contributed 2.4.7 kernel patch that can be found here (attached to the bug):
<URL:http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83>

Hi,

Did you succeed applying this patch? It tries to completely  remove the
content of fs/filesystems.c.

The 2.4.0 patch was adding a few line to this file.

I've created a 2.4.10 patch for imon. The patch is available at http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86 It is also available at http://webpages.charter.net/tprado Please ignore the 2.4.7 patch I submitted for imon. It's defective in that it destroys fs/filesystems.c. I've confirmed that the 2.4.10 patch is okay in this respect.

I've tested the 2.4.10 patch against my local machine as well as a NFS connected machine. I've only tested it when it's compiled as a module.


It doesn't compile if you try to compile it inside the kernel.
Here's the error I get:

make -C imon
make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/src/kernel/linux-2.4.10-imon/fs/imon'
make all_targets
make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/src/kernel/linux-2.4.10-imon/fs/imon'

make[1]: *** [_subdir_imon] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/src/kernel/linux-2.4.10-imon/fs'
make: *** [_dir_fs] Error 2

And BTW, the patch seems to work with the new 2.4.11 kernel too
(compiled as a module otherwise same error as above).

Regards,
Jerome

I've added a new attachment to bug 86 ( http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86 ) for 2.4.12 and it also fixes the problem with compiling it into the kernel.
