Re: [Xen-users] Re: cow implementation

cowloop is compiled under xen-kernel now. It was a stupid mistake. There needs to be 2 directories created in the /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen3_7.1_rhel4.1/ directory before compiling cowloop

/lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen3_7.1_rhel4.1/build
/lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen3_7.1_rhel4.1/misc

make install now compiles cowloop

./gplaccept
if [ ! -d /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen3_7.1_rhel4.1/misc ]; then mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen3_7.1_rhel4.1/misc; fi
cp cowloop.ko /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen3_7.1_rhel4.1/misc
/sbin/depmod -a
cp cowdev          /usr/sbin
cp cowsync         /usr/sbin
cp cowrepair       /usr/sbin
cp cowmerge        /usr/sbin
cp cowlist         /usr/sbin
cp man/cowloop.4   /usr/share/man/man4
cp man/cowdev.1    /usr/share/man/man1
cp man/cowsync.1   /usr/share/man/man1
cp man/cowrepair.1 /usr/share/man/man1
cp man/cowmerge.1  /usr/share/man/man1
cp man/cowlist.1   /usr/share/man/man1
./makecows 241

Now running modprobe cowloop gives the following error:

FATAL: Error inserting cowloop (/lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen3_7.1_rhel4.1/misc/cowloop.ko): Invalid module format

looks like its back to square one :(

any clues ?

After i compiled cowloop under the non xen kernel, the module was copied to /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.EL/misc/cowloop.ko. I copied the file to /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen3_7.1_rhel4.1/misc/cowloop.ko.

However doing a modprobe cowloop doesn't work.

Anyone else tried with cowloop ?

Haven't tried.

Ok i got cowloop compiled. It doesn't compile when booted with xen kernel. However under the default kernel it compiles.
