Description Ivan Popov 2005-09-01 11:50:17 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414

Description of problem:
Coda kernel module is missing (not chosen for compilation).
It makes it impossible to run a Coda client without kernel recompilation
which is otherwise quite undesirable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
as root:
# cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV cfs0
# echo -n <cfs0
-bash: cfs0: No such device or address
# modprobe coda
FATAL: Module coda not found

Actual Results:  the error messages shown above

Expected Results:  it would be possible to open /dev/cfs0,
at least after inserting the Coda module

Comment 1 Jason Baron 2005-09-23 14:50:55 EDT

There are currently no plans to support coda in rhel4

Comment 2 Ivan Popov 2005-09-25 07:45:36 EDT

Supporting Coda file system and including the Coda kernel module are different
things.
As a result of the exclusion you are reducing the value of your product -
presumably it is a deliberate choice.
