Excellent. That builds fine for me against 3.5rc6. Much appreciated. Now to see if I can get the Fedora "patched" source to build and boot. On 07/09/2012 03:16 PM, Kent Overstreet wrote:
Ok, I think I got them all fixed - the code that's up now should build for you. On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 11:41 AM, Kent Overstreet [off-list ref] wrote:quoted

Dumb question coming from someone who is more of an admin than a developer. Although I did build and run a dev lab at Sun in the early days of Solaris Nevada. What kernel source version or branch will your current git tree patch to and compile with? I have tried everything from 3.5rc1 to Linus's current git tree. It breaks DRBD. Once I disable DRBD in the config it fails at target_core_iblock.c. So I never get a full build. So either I am doing something obviously wrong or ???Bah, sounds like I didn't test my code when I rebased to 3.5. Lazy me. For the moment, if you're not actually using drbd or iscsi you could just disable both of those in the config. Assuming I didn't break dm and md too. heh.quoted
I'd love to test this out and help with debugging. I have plenty of hardware and interest in it working well. I can even provide you access to debug when I hit an issue.Cool!quoted
What error output can I provide and can you point me to good trees?You could send me your .config in case it turns out to be something specific to your specific config. Ought to be something simple, though.quoted
I appreciate it and I am glad to see that someone is finally making the effort to get a real, working block cache object into the kernel. I will help in any way I can.Thanks :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
