Bug 407991 – Stabilise sys-fs/aufs3-3_p20120109

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Oleg Gawriloff 2012-03-13 07:00:15 UTC]

Keeping in mind that gentoo-sources and vanilla-sources 3.0.x was stabilized we should stabilize aufs3 as well.

Reproducible: Always

It seems its too early.

barzog@peerbox-r5 ~ $ uname -a
Linux peerbox-r5 3.0.22 #1 SMP Mon Mar 12 17:44:52 FET 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5110 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

barzog@peerbox-r5 ~ $ sudo modprobe aufs
FATAL: Error inserting aufs (/lib/modules/3.0.22/misc/aufs.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

According to http://www.gentoo.ru/node/24928 in latest git sources this problem is solved.
After emerging latest git from mv-overlay (http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=user/mv.git;a=tree;f=sys-fs/aufs;h=79962b48d3031cdb5d1c1137488cf96b414de4bc;hb=HEAD) we have same error.

So, is anyone able to use aufs3 on kernel 3.0.22?

Did you recompile you kernel after installing aufs3? You also need to boot into the new kernel.

Uh-oh. My fault. It seems that I forgot thing (may be some ewarn should be added at posinst stage).
Thanks for pointing.

Then stabilization required.

[Comment 4 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2012-03-14 07:05:23 UTC]

pkg_setup()

...
     ewarn "You need to compile your kernel with the applied patch"
     ewarn "to be able to load and use the aufs kernel module"
...
}

[Comment 5 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2012-03-14 07:06:29 UTC]

arches please go ahead. Our live dvd and the systemrescuecd is using this package and I got no bugreport on it.

Its on setup stage, not on posinst. So some digging must be done.

Smth like (as in net-firewall/ipset):
pkg_postinst() {
        linux-mod_pkg_postinst
        elog "Note you need to rebuid and run kernel with netlink.patch or you'll get error:"
        elog "Kernel error received: Invalid argument"
}
