Description Andrei Kovacs 2005-01-08 15:33:22 UTC

Description of problem:
With the updated kernel 2.6.9-1.724_FC3, you can no longer compile
lufs (which is needed by captive-ntfs) due to a missing export of
kernel symbol "kill_proc_info". Te export is removed in the kernel
patch "linux-2.6.9-exports.patch".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.9-1.724_FC3.i386.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and install kernel-2.6.9-1.724_FC3.i368.rpm and
kernel-2.6.9-1.724_FC3.src.rpm.
2. Download and install captive-ntfs
(http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/dist/captive-static-1.1.5-0.i386.rpm)
and complete "captive-install-aquire". 
3. Try to mount a ntfs filesystem. This is where captive-ntfs tries to
compile lufs and fails because of the missing kernel export.
  
Actual results:
The NTFS filesystem is not mounted.

Expected results:
The NTFS filesystem mounted.

Additional info:
By a little modification of the patch to not remove "kill_proc_info"
and a recompile of the kernel, everything works fine.

this went away upstream. If you need this to come back, you (or the
lufs people) will need to convince linux-kernel.org
