I did an install on a fresh 4.0-CURRENT machine from shortly before the
FreeBSD egcs integration a month ago, and all appeared to go well until I
attempted to touch /afs:
Apr 30 22:34:56 trojanhorse /kernel: XFS PANIC WARNING!
xfs_message_installroot: called again!
Apr 30 22:34:56 trojanhorse /kernel: XFS PANIC WARNING!
xfs_message_installroot: called again!
After that, things appeared to function normally.
My installation procedure essentially consisted of:
ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se:/pub/arla/arla-0.23.tar.gz
tar -xvzf arla-0.23.tar.gz
cd arla-0.23
./configure --enable-kld
make
make install
mknod /dev/xfs0 c 128 0
cp /usr/arla/bin/xfs.ko /modules
mkdir /afs
/usr/arla/bin/mount_xfs /dev/xfs0 /afs
/usr/arla/bin/arlad
Then, I did:
ls /afs # this started taking a while, as I alias ls to ls -F, so
# I hit ctrl-C
\ls /afs # the result of this call was the kernel message I saw
Then \ls returned the normal output on /afs.
BTW, have you considered getting a device number allocated so you're not
using a dynamically allocated number, especially given that kld's appear
not to pass back device numbers to userland the way the old lkms did?
Having one allocated is just a question of emailing Jordan
<jkh@freebsd.org> and would probably be worthwhile.
I have plans to submit updates to the FreeBSD ports collection Arla
port--will you be releasing a 0.24 at some point with the recent patches,
or should I include relevant patches in a port based on 0.23?
Thanks again for a great product,
Robert N Watson
