[Ocfs2-users] OCFS2 inside Virtuozzo nodes

[santi at usansolo.net]

Dear Srs,

I'm trying to enable OCFS2 inside a Virtuozzo 4.0 server. Virtuozzo [1] is
a Linux kernel modification to enable operating system-level
virtualization, currently based on v2.6.18. Kernel module has successfully
compiled but I have some problems:

- In this Virtuozzo release 'linux/fs.h' is not patched to support
FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE macro, so "--enable-vfs-rename-patch-override=yes" is
needed to override this. It's important? I can contact Virtuozzo technical
support to suggest enabling in future releases if possible..

checking for flag FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE in fs.h... no
checking whether to ignore the missing vfs rename kernel patch... no
configure: error: Kernel source is missing mainline patch commit
349457ccf2592c14bdf13b6706170ae2e94931b1

- I can't build RPM package with the modules, the output of "uname -r" is
"2.6.18-028stab053.17-ent", and I get this error:

# ./vendor/rhel5/kernel.guess targets
./vendor/rhel5/kernel.guess: line 140: [: 028stab053: integer expression
expected

Appears that kernel.guess doesn't correctly handle the version string
"2.6.18-028stab053.17-ent", maybe?

With "make rhel5_`uname -r`_rpm" I get this error:

Is there anyway to make a RPM package in this scenario? Thanks
