Bug 320959 – sys-fs/aufs2-0_p20100405 fails due to aufs: Unknown symbol au_hnotify_op on gentoo-sources-2.6.32-r7

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Olliver Schinagl 2010-05-21 21:52:04 UTC]

Emerging sys-fs/aufs2-0_p20100405 yields the following error when loading the module. This after a rebooted kernel and reinstallation of aufs2.

aufs: Unknown symbol au_hnotify_op.

Disableing the inotify useflag is a workaround.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Please try with newly committed version aufs2-0_p20100524 and report back

[Comment 2 Olliver Schinagl 2010-05-27 20:02:31 UTC]

No go; same error, 2.6.32-r7

[Comment 3 Dean Montgomery 2010-05-27 21:21:25 UTC]

Same error here aufs: Unknown symbol au_hnotify_op

This fixes it...
USE="-inotify" emerge --newuse aufs2

[Comment 4 Olliver Schinagl 2010-05-27 22:44:32 UTC]

Well, since the unknown symbol relates to notify, and using USE="-notify" you basically disable notify, yeah that's a work around :)

The work around was listed in the previous release of aufs2 too I think. I wish aufs2 would get merged into mainline quickly, solving all this nastyness.

[Comment 5 Thomas Sachau 2010-05-28 12:06:32 UTC]

Could you try gentoo-sources-2.6.32-r9?

[Comment 6 Olliver Schinagl 2010-06-01 08:49:33 UTC]

Nope, same issue. As soon as 2.6.33 hits amd64 stable I can test that one then.

[Comment 7 jez austin 2010-06-04 09:01:14 UTC]

Same issue on 2.6.34-gentoo.

[Comment 8 Thomas Sachau 2010-06-05 22:56:40 UTC]

I think, i got the issue and commited a fix to aufs2-0_p20100524. Please wait a few hours, so the change can get to your local mirror before you sync, then try again.

[Comment 9 Olliver Schinagl 2010-06-06 14:09:07 UTC]

Seems to be working on 2.6.34 now. Haven't checked old kernel, but I'm happy I suppose :) Reopen if anybody still gets this on an old kernel.
