One example .config

[Comment 2 Elton Machado 2003-07-19 13:33:34 UTC]

I resolve the problem in my system using this in config file... 

#
# Automatically generated by make menuconfig: don't edit
#
CONFIG_X86=y
# CONFIG_SBUS is not set
CONFIG_UID16=y
 
#
# openMosix
#
CONFIG_MOSIX=y
# CONFIG_MOSIX_TOPOLOGY is not set
CONFIG_MOSIX_SECUREPORTS=y
CONFIG_MOSIX_DISCLOSURE=1
CONFIG_MOSIX_FS=y
CONFIG_MOSIX_DFSA=y
# CONFIG_MOSIX_PIPE_EXCEPTIONS is not set
# CONFIG_openMosix_NO_OOM is not set
# CONFIG_MOSIX_LOADLIMIT is not set
CONFIG_SHM=y
CONFIG_SHM_FLUSH=y
CONFIG_SHM_DEBUG=y

[]'s Cheers

It seems when MOSIX_FS=y and SHM_FLUSH not enabled it recreates the error.

To clarify, the following .config entries should cover this bug:
CONFIG_SHM=y
CONFIG_SHM_FLUSH=y
CONFIG_SHM_DEBUG=y

[Comment 4 Stefan Sarzio 2003-07-21 02:01:44 UTC]

I don't even have these CONFIG_SHM* entries. . . *lookingcompletelyhelpless*

Does it help if I add them manually??

This problem is known upstream.
See https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=776107&group_id=46729&atid=447171
for details.

Waiting for an fix from the openmosix-developers.

[Comment 6 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2003-08-06 09:25:07 UTC]

To compile the kernel the following option has to be enabled:
  │ │     [*] openMosix File-System                                       │ │

I tried it and it works.
Still waiting for the openmosix-developers to provide an official fix.

[Comment 7 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2003-09-03 05:15:11 UTC]

This problem is fixed in the openmosix cvs.
As soon as there is a new official release everything should be fine again.
