Hello All,
I found what may be a problem. When I compile
arla-0.24 on my Linux-2.2.9 system, I get the
following
warnings:
xfs_inodeops.c:273: warning: initialization from
incompatible pointer type
xfs_inodeops.c:316: warning: initialization from
incompatible pointer type
xfs_inodeops.c:376: warning: initialization from
incompatible pointer type
I looked at the code and arla's lookup function
returns
an int, but the prototype from the linux kernel
headers
looks like this:
struct dentry * (*lookup) (struct inode *,struct
dentry *);
Now that I think about this I remember a discussion on
linux-kernel, and I think this change was made to
support aliasing with MSDOS file systems. Does anyone
know more about this?
Thanks,
Jim
